Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?

Only reason I ask is because it will be pushing Salk Veracity Ht2-TL’s...  Im coming off a Belles Aria, which was fantastic, but wanted to try something different.  My concern is the low wattage of the Raven and low sensitivity of the salks, but my Belles 75 watts sounded better than 3 other nice 225 watt integrateds.  
So, anyone with experience with the Raven Blackhawk LE pushing somewhat low sensitivity speakers chime in and let me know.

Perhaps the most difficult task when seeking useful information on a forum such as this, to use the cliche, is trying to"separate the wheat from the chaff." Rather than risk being flagged. I’ll leave it at that.  Except to say that I think @oldhvymec has it figured out.  :)

I power washed my deck, waited a few days for it to dry sufficiently, and today I applied a coat of beautiful semi-transparent, natural cedar, oil-based stain. Approximately 36 hours from now I’m going to do some serious victory laps of my own. Meanwhile, my 86db Sonus Faber stand mounts are sounding wonderful powered by a surprisingly robust Chinese SET integrated. I had the windows open and was rocking an average of 88db’s according to my Radio Shack meter. Sure helped make the deck work a lot more pleasant.

YMMV
