Mini amp with passlabs / tube like sound

Hello,

 

i am looking for a small low wattage amp, preferably solid state (as I’ve been burning out too many tube amps) for my dining room setup with home made open baffle speakers. 
 

The speakers work well with tubes and a small set amp, have been using the small amp from musical paradise, but I’m open to suggestions. 
 

what would make a good small simple amp with a set tube like sound? 
 

thanks,

Richard

Check eBay for one of the Chinese made,pure class A,solid state amplifiers based on the original Sugden A21's..Try searching for Douk Audio or Nobsound Class A Amplifier..They run about $300.00 and are a stone cold bargain.They have a compact footprint but as they are real Class A they do run hot and don't have remote control..

Fosi V3 with the 48 volt supply. $87.99 on eBay. Why pay more?

You can usually find used Amp Camp amps at reasonable prices.  1 (or 2) of those fit the criteria you're looking for.

Amp Camp amps are not really great they have hi distorition #'s, they were designed for DYI teaching classes not critical listning.

There are better optons out there.
