First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ?


I'm trying to decide if the J2 is worth the effort ?  All reviews are favorable , some even glorify the sonic nature of this 25 watt amp.  I'd like to see what the deal is with a class A amp - it seems like it's all I could ask for in an amp * Except and this is a big exception -the need for highly efficient speakers to appreciate the amp.

  Don't mind shopping for another pair of speakers  but  realistic choices seem so limited.  Zu audio seems to be a big favorite pairing .

 I'm running a Rogue audio cronus mag lll with Dahlquist DQ 10 speakers ( older speakers ) also have  Spendor s5e's    Don't think either will ideal match with J2

 Really enjoy the open ,wide range of the DQ10's 

Any suggestions are most welcome 

thanks in advance

IMO you should not get to caught up in the rating of 25 watts per channel. There is sooooooo much more involved in the ability of an amp to drive speakers. I will take a great 25 watt amp like this over a lot of 200 or 300 watts per amps where the watts suck. They named the company First Watt because if the first watt sucks so will all the rest on your way to 300. When the first watt is magic so will be 10,15, and 25! Only your ears can be your judge. Enjoy the music.
