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

thanks but isnt there more to it than impedance ratios? like gain and sensitivity?

@mesch I do believe that the 0.85v may be a potential issue. My speakers are about 92db efficient. I get noise (hiss) from my system and I think it is incompatibility between the 2 pieces. each on their own with other components they are fine.
