Why not upgrade to a Brio R? If you look at the million page LS50 thread on AudioKarma it appears that is the match made in heaven and completely does justice to the speakers.
Taking off on what Al said there is not much in the way of lab tests on the integrated, but if we take a leap of faith and assume that it is comparable in output stage to the Titan Magnum the test is here http://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-titan-atlas-magnum-power-amplifier-measurements
and the output impedance measures a very moderate half ohm on average.
On the good side this will mitigate frequency response variations somewhat due to the voltage divider effect. On the other hand it indicates a reliance on feedback and, no doubt, one will either be comfortable with that, or not.
Anecdotally, there are a number of people reporting good results with tube amps on the AK thread, but YMMV. Then again some people listen to Klipshorns with Phase Linear amps so anecdotal reports may not be all that they are cracked up to be.
