I use it with vintage Altec 604"E" speakers. More than enough power for most types of music in 300 sq. feet room. This speakers can be easy driven directly by 1 Watt Chord Mojo DAC: https://youtu.be/-NH60kJlO4g https://youtu.be/sTxK6i9S1SM https://youtu.be/x6CKymhd5Uc https://youtu.be/u_vfgSd4ICs

Less compression, liver sound, better textura, work good with SET and SIT and other high quality low power amplifiers. The only two drawbacks are difficulty to get deep bass and bigger size. Low sensitive speakers are win-win for greedy sellers, producers and reviewers. Better WAF, smaller size, chipper to produce. For this purpose, thay create a myth about inaccuracy of high sensitivity speakers!

Actually, if speakers have a narrow radiation pattern you listen what is actually recorded. If speakers have a wide radiation pattern you hear more acoustic of your room.
