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 Musical Fidelity is definitely forward/bright compared to the others. I would not ever pair it with Focals. I don't know that Doge but the key with any pairing with Focals is the ability to deal with low impedance. Does it have 4 ohm taps? Does it deliver a lot of current or is it better with efficient speakers. I have customers who run B&W 803 D3s and Focal Scala Utopias with 40w tube amps in small rooms. The key is room size and the ability to deliver the required current.
