Can you satisfactorily run an Audeze LCD-2 @60 ohms nominal into a Yamaha AS1000 amp headphone outlet @ 32 ohms @ 1000hz 23mw ???????????????

Hard to say without knowing exactly how much power it puts out at 60 ohms. Power at 32 ohms could be limited by current or output impedance.
 
Assuming nothing like that, you'll get around 12 mW into 60 ohms which is 102 dB with the LCD-2 at published specs. That's loud enough for a pretty high listening volume with headroom, as long as you're not using any digital volume control like ReplayGain. If you are, it might not get as loud as you like without clipping on peaks.
 
If this is a Fazor LCD-2 it'll be louder, as they're a bit more efficient.
