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

The SIT-3 is a killer and special amp, and they are not too expensive at this point, $3-3.7 k or so.  I've got one and absolutely love it.

You might be buying the wrong tube amps if this is the case?

First Watt Sit 4 $5,000 - Nelson Pass designed, all solid state, brilliant amp if you only need 10 watts

A Rega Io would fit the bill. Lower powered, sweet sounding solid state amp. You would be surprised how good it is.
