Actually the 105dB efficiency is very good efficiency and with this efficiency any 20W-30W DSET amp would do fine, unless you have over 1700 cub feet listening room

The problem is not with “appropriate” but with debility of most of SS PP amps to do proper bass, at least I was not able to come across…. | serenechaos wrote: |

You might look at the amps with feedback, it would be better for damping and you would be able to stick an additional filtration into feedback. So, you might have 12dB in open loop, for instance on grids, and 12dB from closed loop… many options are available
