Starting a second system

I want to start a second system in my house, in my study. 
I would like a small integrated tube amp, to b paired with small bookshelf speakers, and then use a blue sound streamer for the music.  It would b nice to b able to use headphones.
i wouldn’t mind if the amp were from a smaller company, not as well known.

The Leben CS300XS would be my first choice.  Some small Proacs would be a good speaker match.
At less money, the Quad VA One offers the same power output and el84 tubes.
AZ Hi Fi in Phoenix carries Leben.  Excellent dealer in my experience.

The Fritz Carrera's were beautifully driven by 8 watts at CAF, so that Rogers integrated should work very well indeed.
