Compatibility between preamp and amps

As I am researching preamps and amplifiers I have been reading that gain/impedance/sensitivity can affect how well the 2 components get along. Take for example Modwright LS100 and Wells Audio Innamorata
LS100: Gain 11db, Input Impedance 38K, Output Imp 300 OhmInnamorata: Gain 30db, Sensitivity 0.85V RMS, Input Imp 30K

Based on the specs does this like it would present any potential issues?
Thanks

Had a huge worry myself, while u sing a Sanders “the preamp” with a McCormack mono pair. Volume would not start until I hit almost 40 or 50 on my vol knob.
   Turns out, it’s made that way, same with my McCormack preamp.

I’m fine now.
