Here's my Opinion and Experience with 2 Watt 45 Amplifiers over the last 15 years.I spent the First 7-8 years running my 45 Amps on 104db Klipsch Belles, and then 104db Klipschorn Bass Bins and Altec 1005B Horns. I had friends come over and they would play 'Big' Music (Rock etc.) until my Amps were Clipping. I rarely drove my 45 Amps to Clipping, as I was listening at lower volumes and Jazz.
I finally decided to Bi-Amp putting the 45 Amps on the Altec Horns and Class 'D' Amps on the Khorn Bass Bins. -- Now I had Plenty of Power and never looked back.
Currently, I have 115db Horns and I have the 45 Amps on the Horns Alone. And I use the Class 'D' Amps on the Klipschorn Bass Bins. I love the 45 Amp SET Sound, but they do need 'Some Help' at Increased Volume and the Bass.... Freeing up the 45 Watts on the Horns made all the difference in the World.
Your speakers are really not that sensitive..... You can get a 2 watt Amp and it will play music, but it will be a compromise.... You will probably want more sensitive speakers, or Bi-Amping (which is what I did - And I highly endorse it).
