Contrast/compare 50W tube amps

Any one familiar with these amps,or make recommendations on another.To be used with two speaker systems:Gallo 90db/9 ohms and Open Baffle 90db/6 ohms.THE CONTENDERS:
Quicksilver Triode monos(6c33c-b/50W)
DeHavilland GM-70s
Bat VK-75SE
Atma-Spere M-60 MKIIIs
Trancendant "The Beast" (I know they are 175/W)
I like the tube warmth,but need the extemsion/dynamics.Cabling will most likely be Omega Mikro.
Thanks for looking/responding in advance,Tom

Have you considered the AES Sixpac amps? They are made by Cary, are very nice, and IMO are a bargain. For a few dollars more you can have Cary upgrade the speaker binding posts, add a balanced input, and install upgraded caps. You can change the KT-88 tubes for KT-66's if you like a warmer sound. They are 50wpc with KT-88 tubes. Here are a couple of reviews:

BTW I have no affiliation with Cary or AES; I just really like the amps.
