Lookin 4 integrated mono/stereo schematic suggestions/site

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I'm looking for suggestions, or sites, for a monoblock tubed integrated amp to drive Paradigm Atom speaker(s) for my kitchen.
Seems as if the Atoms are rated around 89db, "compatible" with 8 ohms, dipping to 3.6, and can handle 45 watts? If the watt meter in my old RS solid state receiver shows a good approximation of average power, anything past 1 watt is too LOUD! My kitchen opens into my living room (dedicated to my audio system), and dining room. So, sometimes I turn the kitchen system up louder than normal while house cleaning.

The source will only be an Ipod. Yes I have a pair of speakers; stereo sound would be nice; if the first monoblock sounds good, I may build a mate for it; but stereo is not necessary.

I have quite a few pairs of 6L6G types, even pairs of 6L6 types hanging around (even a pair of dual plate Sylvania 5932s).

I also have the common culprits hanging around of small signal 9 pin mins, ECC88 types, 12AU7 types, a few USA, Sovetek, and EI 12AX7s, quite a few Sylvania triple bp 5751s, a variety of 6FQ7, and variety of 6SN7G types.

I'll build the tubed power supply for the integrated amp; I have a few rectifier and regulator tubes hanging around.

I've got at least two xformers hanging around that can handle a pair of 6L6G, and and 5U4G.

Some where, I have an output xformer from a McGohan PA that used a pair of 6L6Gs. I can always buy a good output xformer.

Yup. I can follow tube based schematics; I can solder; I can create quite a good rats nest of wire if left on my own to convert from a schematic to a physical layout using point to point to point wiring; no reason why I couldn't use perf board--gotta be some on eBay?

90% of my Ipod is filled with Blues, no classical, no country, no rap, some late 60s rock, and some Yellow.

Nope. I can't design a circuit to either use a tube, or interface one tube to another tube.
