Elliot the SQ-150 is an excellent little amp a friend has one and loves it. But even with your sub handling most of the bass duties I still think 10 watts would be a stretch unless you have a small room and/or listen at low volumes.
Luxman LX33 Integrated Tube Amp. YEAH? NAY?
Perhaps the Russian Tube Preamp disaster will lead to this different solution:
All Tubes in one shot.
Luxman Vintage LX33 Integrated Tube Amp for: Small Office system: TT (MM); R2R Tape (line); Computer (line).

YEAH? NAY?
30 wpc Enough Power? I think so. I would go Luxman pre-out to self-powered sub's line-in first, then sub line-out to LX33 Main In: so the LX33 and Wharfdale 225's (low 87 sensitivity) would not need to produce low bass.
This LX33 and other Luxman's are Shallow Depth. They fit on top of my 3 shelf high bookcase, next to my Vertical TT and Vertical R2R deck (nicest no-bend operational height I ever had).
The Fisher Mono Blocks are also 30 wpc. (35 wpc if I want to get EL37's, no thanks, I'd rather eat).
Not the wood look like the Russian preamp or even nicer Luxman Preamp 35iii,

but the LX33 Brushed Metal finish next to the Grey Mistubishi LT-5V are compatible.
