Don't know the Audience 70s but I suspect it was replaced by the 72 which, like most Dynaudios tend to 85-86 dB sensitivity and 4-6 ohm impedance. The 72 has 86 dB sensitivity and is rated at 4 ohms. Dynaudio recommend a minimum of 25 watts for a small room.

That tends to be only half the story with Dynaudios. What they really like is an amp that can dish out current so an amp with good current reserves and bigger amps tend to be better at delivering that. They also tend to sound happier at the same loudness levels with a big amp doing the driving than with a small amp.

Besides not knowing the 70s, I don't know the Roksan amp either. My best advice is to try the combination and see what you think.
