Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker


I currently have Krell Evolution 400 monoblocks. I have ordered Zu Essence speakers. Will these two work together? I see most reviewers of the Zu use low power tube amps. Will this amp hurt the Zu?

Kinda overkill, isn't it? Zu specs state
Average Room / Moderate Volume 2 - 8 Watt
Large Room / Loud 8 - 30 Watt
Large Room / Concert Level 30 - 80 Watt
At least you won't have to worry about clipping and distortion!
If you are committed to solid state and ZU, I'd recommend giving Pass Labs FirstWatt series of amplifiers serious consideration. Aleph J or the F1-F5 amps. They were designed with high efficiency speakers in mind.
