In my limited experience with flea-power SET amplification I found the sound to be very intoxicating at low listening levels even with speakers that are not sufficiently efficient. I'm sure a 3-Watt amp will drive my Thiels to make some sound but even my Tannoys struggled to sound their best.
I had a pair of 45 monoblocks on loan to me and I think they put out a whopping 3 or 4 Watts. They DID sound very nice with my more efficient Tannoy Definition D500's which are 91dB 6 Ohm nom. but only at low listening levels. If I turned it up to normal levels or beyond, the bass became woolly and bloated. But it was very sweet and rich in the mids.
