Look for a Sumo The Nine, a Jim Bongiorno design providing 60W class A. Simply one of the nicest amps I've ever heard and will snap one up if given the chance.
I see Tom8999 is using a Son of Ampzilla II in his system which is also designed by Bongiorno and would be worth considering. I still own the original GAS Son of Ampzilla which must be over 40 years old and is in my system now but has been rebuilt.
I recommend a recap and general look-over by a competent and sympathetic technician. The internal wiring should be replaced with solid core OCC wire and input / output sockets replaced with the very best available. Low-mass offerings from Furutech and WBT come to mind. Must replace the IEC socket too.
I say 'sympathetic' because you will always get the know-all tech who will claim assertively with a snigger that it will make no difference and leave you with a rude and dismissive 'well it's your money'.
Have heard it drive electostats, magneplanars and a variety of boxes with ease. It drove my Tannoy MG 15 Golds with aplomb. You could also lookout for an early Threshold or a Spread Spectrum Technologies which was Bongiorno's last before he died.
