We need to know what speakers you'll be using. Any 300B-based amp will need a pretty friendly speaker for it to be a pleasing combination. The RM10 comes from a renowned designer, and might be better with more speakers. However, it squeezes 35w out of a tube type not frequently(although occasionally) used as an output tube.
My recommendation to a tubey-newby would be to try something based on KT88 or EL34. More common, plenty to choose from, and more flexibility in usage. Of course I'm painting with a broad brush, but I think it would be a safer bet for you. If you share your system, preferences & budget, you'll get plenty of suggestions. Cheers,
Spencer
