Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp

"If you like the 6SN7 that much, if I were you I’d be looking a better topologies to make it happen."

I have no need or desire to change the topology in my amp. This appears to be going in a much different direction than the OP’s question. Cheers, Aric

Hey guys, we all know that you both build great products. Deep respect for Atmasphere and Aric Audio.

Here's what we don't know...what speakers does the OP own, are they mechanically and electrically to spec and are they appropriate for a tube amp?

Agreed. No question there is more than one successful approach to building audio components. And the final product will speak for itself.

Sounds as if a compact, integrated EL-84 amp might just fit the bill for around 20 w/ch. There’s a newer Quicksilver and or older, refurbished Scott, Heathkit and Eico integrateds. EL-84’s were often the tube of choice back "when"....they still sound great! - Still, choose the right speakers, that you like & fit the room size, then choose your suitable amp (tubes generally like 8 ohms or more).
