Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp

I should say 20WPC or more....

I’ve been trying to use a 8WPC 300B SET (Sun Audio) with some vintage bass reflex studio monitors from the 70s (96dB) and it’s clear that I need a bit more power. Everything sounds really awesome but the highs will distort at anything beyond low-medium volume which has been fine but I want to play a little louder sometimes!

Space is limited so I need a stereo amp or maybe small monos are possible.

I've had my Quicksilver Minimite monoblocks for the past 17 years and still truly enjoy them with some of my British monitors. Linn Kan I and KEF Reference Series Model I (similar to the LS3/5A BBC monitor).   If you can find a used pair in nice shape for around $750 I think you'd really like them.  

If you want to purchase new,  then the Quicksilver horn monoblocks at around $1600 the pair might make sense.  They're 25 watts per channel but sound much more powerful.

Good luck! 😀
