RE: With only 93dB in most rooms you're going to need some power.

I would consider 60 watts a minimum. In a bigger room you'll need more.

And for this reason I would consider SETs a non-starter. If you want power out of an SET you won't get bandwidth as that is what they trade off. Usually bass is sacrificed.

If I were you I'd look at a triode push-pull amp, perhaps one that is class A and zero feedback. They're out there. You might also be surprised at how much more musical they can be than SETs. The trick here is to find one that has a distortion character that diminishes with power to unmeasurable (that's what SETs do).
