He has a habit of driving speakers with amps some would consider too low in power for their efficiency but he was happy with his Dynaco and those low efficiency speakers for years and years (and he used to sell audio equipment at one point in his life). I heard them many times and power and head room were never a problem. I drove 89-90 db speakers with a Dynaco for years myself. I am not recommending a Dynaco for your speakers as a first option if you have more money, but there are tons of tube options that will easily dive 88db efficient speakers. A Dynaco MK III, Citation II, Antique Sound Lab has some options that won't require modifications, etc...
