Here's the thing. I have recently acquired the RKV and still going through the break-in stage. I'm falling in love with the sound of this amp. From my experience with solid state and tube amps, the RKV combines the good sides of both worlds. While the location where I live doesn't allow me to enjoy full scale speaker set up, after getting the RKV I stared thinking about actually building one for the near field listening. Following the link that Joelongwood kindly posted in his reply I wasn't really impressed with the selection (I do understand that it doesn't cover current line-up of all of the high-efficient speakers, though it does give a ballpark of what to look for). That's why I was trying to establish a rough estimate of what to expect from RKV in terms of power into 8 and 4 ohm loads. Maybe it could easily drive some of the Sonus Faber or B&W speakers, rather then Lowther designs.
