You would have to ask the manufacture, but since it has an output transformer I would think it would be all right. My friend uses a rebuilt Heath tube amp that I think has 8 watts. I was a Quad dealer for years and used several amps besides Quads on them, most of which are long gone from the market; the 63s do not have as low an impedance as the 57s and are easier to use but many prefer the 57s.
