Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents?


I've got an old pair of Smaller Advent speakers that I'm planning on having restored (new foam, etc.). I'm currently looking at an amp to drive them, and thinking about going tube. Although I've never owned a tube power amp before, I'm familiar with the sound of tubes in recording equipment, and I think I would really enjoy a tube amp in my listening system. Based on what I've been reading, Jolida looks like the best deal in my pricerange (ca. $700). However, there doesn't seem to be a Jolida dealer in my area - all the "audiophile" shops around here seem to want to sell me a home theater receiver! Therefore, I haven't been able to audition the amplifier, and I haven't been able to figure out if it would adequately drive the Advents (via the 4 ohm taps, of course).
I don't need thunderous volume. Sources would be my Oppo universal player, and maybe a turntable (through an external phono preamp). I listen to classical, indie rock, and jazz, pretty much in that order. Thanks!

60 watts is probably marginal with the Advents but it could be ok depending on room size, listening levels etc. I would imagine price is still a factor but the 1501 and 1501RC already give you a option regarding renotes.
I have a Jolida 102B and it is an amazing little amp for the price. I and a lot of my friends use it with the equally amazing (for the price)Sound Dynamics RTS -3 (now discontinued but used on Audigon for ~ $150-$200)in either a second system or in our shore or mountain house. Add a used sub like a Velodyne ULD 15 ($400) or maybe a REL Storm III ($800) and for about $1200-$1300 bucks total you have a system that will blow away a lot of high end systems.
There are a couple of TAD 60s on sale at A-gon. I drove Vandy 2CE Sigs which are about 86DB to room filling classic rock without pushing them hard. You might query Paul Gryzbek about that. Other than that try to find a McOrmack DNA-.5 or 1 or the later B&K amps.
