If your speakers are really 95dB sensitive and if the average 8 Ohm load is "friendly" (impedance at specific frequencies does not fall down to, say, 4 Ohms or less, there are no sharp negative phase angles, and the load does not consistently rise or fall as a function of frequency), you probably use a 2A3 tube amp in SE without any porblems and a 300B amp in SE for sure. I run 0.8W SE amp on a tube-friendly, 95dB sensitive set of speakers in a small room!
