There's nothing wrong with a low power amplifier. You just hope that customers are aware of what they really need for their own use. That can be really tough to determine also, e.g. do I need my amp to handle music with 30dB crest factor when 99% of what I listen to is nothing like that? My preference is to go with overkill on amp power so as to not worry, but I understand others may feel differently.
So, if the amp is able to deliver 36 watts before clipping (at 8 ohms), and the LS50 meta sensitivity is around 83 dB...
We should always be thinking of a 'loudspeaker and amplifier' as a combo. A system, and not something separate, which we often tend to do.
For example, in one of my systems, the Topping would be more than adequate, since the loudspeaker is rated at over 100db/watt/meter. I'm using a 10 to 12 watt/ch amp with it now, and experience no problems.
In a secondary system, rated at around 93db/watt/meter (augmented with a powered sub crossed over at about 60Hz) the Topping would probably be OK, but I would want more, just because watts are a relatively cheap thing--in general they are cheaper than this Topping is willing to provide (albeit not with lower distortion specs). As far as I can tell, the only reason to buy the Topping would be for its distortion specs, or possibly its smallish form factor (if you don't mind the separate power supply).
In any decent amplifier you can buy, distortion is going to be too low to worry about. Power? A different thing. I'll trade lower distortion for significantly higher power, all other things considered. At similar price points, I'd definitely trade the Topping for a Vidar, and wouldn't think twice at trading two bridged Toppings for two bridged Vidars. Because of the power.
Would I trade two bridged Toppings for a single AHB2? For a lot of people that might be a tougher call, because of the price differential. I'd keep the Benchmark, if for no other reason than it's easier for me to deal with a domestic company than it is a Chinese company, should problems arise.
[Monetary consideration: two Vidars will save you two hundred dollars over two Toppings, and you'll go home with four times the power. Two Toppings will save you $1400.00 over one Benchmark for roughly the same power--not an inconsiderable amount, for sure.]
All that said, two 83db/watt/meter loudspeakers could be asking more from one Topping than it has to offer. Depends upon how it is used. If you are trying to fill an average sized room with louder passages, sans clipping, I'd be asking for a demo. If I couldn't get that, I'd be looking elsewhere.
