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 will have to throw a few votes in there for the "talk to Aric" comment.

Ive spent the last hour after getting home from work. Listening to a nice mix of mellow male and female vocal/jazz. Playing my Innuos Zen thru a Pontus II To a Aric Audio 6sn7 preamp (currently running Linlai tubes) and Aric Audio Super KT88/120 SET amplifier (currently running Westinghouse 6sn7gtb tall bottles and KT170's in triode). At the end of the line I have a pair of Spatial M3TM's that you would never know were even in the room! Arics pieces are just amazing you should  honestly reach out to him. I don't disagree with previous recommendations as I have no experience with most. 

I do know that my experience with Aric is nothing short of amazing, a good honest man!
