Solid State Low powered Amplifiers

My quest is to find a SS low powered amplifier to use in the Summer months, in place of Tube and Class A amplification … I have Klipsch Cornwall 4s and limited AC in my hot TN listening room for 4-5 months. I know it will be hard to match the sound I get from tube and Class A …on a solid-state amp and I am wondering if I’m looking in the right place for a “10 W per channel” solid-state amplifier which I don’t even know if they make. The Cornwall speakers are 102 DB sensitivity.

Another vote for the amp camp amp. It's amazing sounding.

I have the VMV A1 on the way but it’ll be too hot for my fully dry walled converted one car garage Mancave, which has limited venting at the end of the AC flow. Perfect room acoustics with floating wood floor, plenty of acoustic panels and bass trap reduction. 7’ listening triangle, close listening, Schitt idea may be better than my NAD C136BEE at 40 WPC. Thank you. Great discussion.
