It is dependent on the amps - there are watts and then there are WATTS!
With amps of even modest nominal output, if they have an amply designed power supply and operate a significant part of their time in Class A, you won't have any issues. I drive a Martin Logan set up (85 db and dipping to 2 ohms) with a 45 watt Class A amp with no issues.
BTW, depending on which Electrocompaniet amp you've tried, I am suprised that it didn't also drive the speakers very well. Even the original version with 25 watts or the Levinson famous ML-2 with the same output would drive almost any speaker well.
