If the amp is struggling to drive the load, you will experience clipping a fair amount. If this is the case you either need more power or a more efficient speaker, maybe both.

I like to have the speaker as easy to drive as possible; no matter what the amplifier the result is usually better sound. You don't want the amp to work hard whether it is tube or solid state. That way the amp will make less distortion and so sound more relaxed. This is also true if the speaker is higher impedance (even if the amp is solid state).

75 watts is a bit marginal on a speaker of that efficiency in most average rooms. IOW it will likely work fine until you try to rock out...
