Celestion SL6

asking the SL6 experts in this thread. do you think a Harman/Kardon 430 receiver (twin powered, 25wpc) would provide enough power for SL6S speakers, in near field, low-medium volume listening on stands alongside a desk?

I can get a pair of SL6S at a good price, but unsure if they'll be a good fit at that minimum power rating. I currently run Boston HD7s, which sound solid but curious to try these legendary speakers as an upgrade.
 
reporting back--couldn't resist and bought the SL6si (just $225 in good shape, not bad for the Bay Area!) and set them up at the desk. the spacing in this spot is weird, about four feet apart and 2.5ft back from my ears, 6 inches from the rear wall. powered by the H/K 430, the SL6si sound much better near-field than the Boston HD7s, with wider off-axis dispersion, plus clearer articulation in highs (almost too much, I've rolled down the treble slightly) and punchier mid-lows. impressive speakers!
