low power tube amp

I am purchasing some new speakers. The manufacturer recommends 40w-200w for the speakers.

I am using a low power 20wpc Class A SET amp.  I worry that the low wattage may damage the speakers.

Is my concern valid?  I heard tube amp wattage is not the same as solid state.  Can someone clarify?

thanks in advance

The low wattage won't damage your speakers.  The only question is whether or not you're getting enough level and do they sound good.  If not and you love tubes, check out:
