You may also want to listen to the Jolida JD102B. It will do an honest 18watts per side and sounds closer to a single ended amp than any other PP amp I own. Slightly on the warm side but it can be tuned by tube rolling (primarily the input and drivers as changing the outputs does not seem to have as great an effect on the sound and I have tried everything from EI's to the Soviet military 6P14P's that I currently use). Also the tube complement of 2-12AT7's, 1-12AX7 and 4- El84's are inexpensive and easy to find. Mine is 3 years old with no issues so far and the staff at Jolida was helpful in answering questions when I called. The best news is that they sell new for less than $600.00 USD new and approx $400.00 USD used.
