Looking for new amp for Tekton Electron SE


I just ordered some Tekton Electron SEs and I'm interested in what folks think about driving them?  I currently have a Peachtree Nova 300.  With the high sensitivity of the Electrons I was looking into possibly something low watt to replace the Nova.  The First Watt offerings from Nelson Pass look intriguing.  I listen to 95% jazz and I like the tightness and impact of the upright bass with my Peachtree and I'm worried I'd lose a little of that with a low wattage amp.  However, I'm looking for a more full bodied more alive sound in the mids and I like how tubes achieve that.  I hate bloom though, especially in the low mids.  First Watt caught my attention because from what I've read in the reviews, it's sound is somewhere in between tube and solid state.  I don't listen to music loud but I do like large scale orchestral works and I would want an amp that is capable of sorting out all that complexity.  ( I have a little 4watt SET and though it sounds great for jazz and chamber music, it fails at Mahler).  Any suggestions?

thanks!

I ended up getting a Pass XA30.5 amp and an LTA MZ2 preamp.   I couldn't be happier

@joshindc  I got the 8ohm version.  Works great with the Pass amp.  Not sure what would work best for the impedance of your 300B SET amp.  I have not yet tried them with my 4W per channel SET amp.  overall I love the sound of the Tektons.  I think you will be pleased
