Focal 1028/1038 BE and 30 Watt Class A Tube amp

I have a 30 Watt Doge 10 Class A tube amplifier.

I am now driving Tekton Electrons (95db) with power to spare.

According to Focal the efficiency of the 1028 and 1038 are 91db and 93db respectively.

Anyone have experience with the Focal 1028 BE or 1038 BE and a lower powered amp?

The ones that appeal to me are the Krell K300i, Gryphon Diablo 120, and Coda CSIB. Each of these should serve me for quite a while. If I decide to go cheaper the Musical Fidelity M8XI should last for a couple of years. I have not purchased the Focal speakers at this point so I’ll keep studying them.
