Mirage M1 with SET amplifier


I know this big bipolar speakers has low sensivity ( about 83dB ) 
but impedance looks to be friendly ( 6-4 ohm )
What do You think , SET 300B amplifier ( 8 watt but very good transformators Tamura ) - i love this sound
can play with M1 in relatively small room ?

@donpen21, 
I own a 300b SET and understand your interest. 
No doubt the Tamura output transformer is very high quality. 
I have to agree with other posters here that this is Not a particularly good pairing. To drive an 83 db sensitivity speaker is asking a lot from an 8 watt SET amplifier (Even a superb one).

As Jond said, in a small room playing at modest volume levels you would likely achieve "listenable " results but not the best results. Individually the speaker and SET amplifier could very well be excellent, but not as a match. Each deserves a more suitable partner.
