Is 15W enough to drive Dyn 3.3?


I have been wanting to try a pair of single end triod (SET)tube mono blocks (mostly like from Cary Audio) to run my dyn audio contour 3.3. My guts tells me that a 15W SET amp may not be enough. Has anyone try this or similiar setup?

If your room is large, you need at least 95dB sensitivity to approach the dynamics of live music with only 15 watts. In a smaller room the sensitivity matters less because of the room reinforcement.
Dynaudios have around 87dB sensitivity, and the 3.3s have several drivers, an additionally taxing load for an amp.
