I will parrot what a couple of other inmates have already said and share a recent experience with you. My tech and I just finished the first iteration of a pair of 300B amps with a single driver stage and some rare Tango interstage and output iron that I was able to acquire. We were both excited to hear the amps and hooked them up to his pair of Reference 3A De Capo speakers. While these are great speakers and supposedly SE friendly, the 300's just could not provide the umph to get them going, even with very simple acoustic music. After I overcame the initial disappointment, I pulled myself together and took them home and hooked them up to my app. 100db Altecs and Edgarhorns. Frankly, it would be impossible to believe they were the same amps and the impact of efficient speakers. It was truly night and day. The nuances were there, the volume was there, the vocals were buttery smooth, and the midrange was utterly breathtaking. If you are able to do so, I suggest that you mate your amps with more efficient speakers and give them a listen. I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade; I just want to share my experience under similar circumstances.
