Hello ianm0 (A)
I have an Audio Note based system with the Conquest MonoBlocks (AN UK) at 18 watts.
I have bought a few Audio Note Kits units as well (DACs), and have found they are excellent.
Prior to me getting the Audio Note Conquests, I ran a big SS power amp into 86db Kef 107s.
It was fine, as when I heard Single Ended, I was hooked. I got the Conquests first and was in love with the midrange and vocal, the treble was so realistic. The only failing was the bass was there, but was a bit loose on fast electronic or dance music.
So, soon after that I sold the Kefs and bought some tube friendly Zingail horn hybrids, and now I am in heaven.
If you have heard and liked the SET sound with 300b tubes, I would go for it, regardless of your existing speakers. The thing is, try not to get dead ended with inefficient speaker designs, or you may not get the SET sound and be stuck in compromise higher power tubes amps or stuck with SS.
OK you can get EL34s or Push Pull amps which may be good, but for me they miss something in the music. And you will notice it if you like Classical and vocal music. These designs are really produced to service those big USA built speakers, and it misses the point.
I would say go for the Interstage Monoblocks twin 300b versions at 20w per channel. It will be fine and later you can sell on your speakers and get some tube friendly ones to fully get the SET sound. Those monoblocks are as good or better than my Conquests. You will love the sound, trust me.
