I've listened to the old M-1's and M-3's many times (nice speakers BTW)...they need "lots" of power, and sound their best when placed well away from the front wall, ie...4-5 ft. out.

Tube amp vs. speakers
Hi all,
Considering jumping into tubes from solid state. My question is whether tubes will meet the power hungry speakers I intend to use, an elderly but pristine pair of Mirage M-1s. They are rated at a sensitivity of 83db and nominal 6 ohms and are more power hungry than a pair of Dunlavy SC-Vs I recently sold. I tend to listen to jazz and blues at fairly demanding levels at times. Will a 35 watt or 50 watt tube amp meet these requirements? Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
