Tuff gig.
I’ve owned BAT pre and amp. Mine were the VK5 pre, VK500 SS amp. Later, a VK 60 amp. Still later, I replaced the BAT pre with a Thor Line stage. And ran that with the BAT SS amp as I enjoyed that pairing best with the speakers on hand at the time.
Many will say the synergy of having same same branded power is best. Others will disagree. I’ve found both ways work well. In fact both directions will yield great results depending on the quality of the gear itself.
At face value, I would think both of your options will work with the speakers. Usually, lower power offers a bit sweeter sonic.
I would call both BAT and Atmasphere and ask them about their respective amps qualities you may be unclear about.
Both should do quite well. The issue here predominately is which sound you will like best.
As I’m unfamiliar with the speaker specs, I would ensure the sensitivity of the Tektons is adequate enough, so you will be able to obtain the volume levels you desire in your room with the 30 wpc Atmas amp, should you go that way..
The BAT amp with a touch more power, should easily fulfill that job.
If everything fits power and speaker wise, and all else is equal more or less, age, condition, & price, I see this as a coin toss. Each brand is a quality piece IMHO.
Best of luck.
