With such high efficiency speakers it would be soooo tempting to go pure Class A. The cleanest and quietest signal will reap the most reward. 102db efficiency indicates the first watts are the ones you will be really using so might as well have the best. Some of the folks here can do the math but Class A will IMHO give you the best sound possible out of those Cornwalls. 30 watts of Class A should give you around 104db @ 20 ft away. But if I had to choose from your list, the JC1+ since the first 25 are class A . The Classe only gives around 3 watts of Class A I think. Good Luck.
