What kind of speakers are you driving? That's the most important factor.
Decware, Bottlehead, and Welborne are best suited for speakers above 94dB efficiency with fairly stable impedences above 8 ohms.
I have Welborne DRD 300B monoblocks and they are stunningly transparent and revealing. The most "pure" 300B amps have ever heard. But, 7 watts per channel will only get you so far.
I have driven 90dB/4ohm Jean Marie Reynaud monitors with them and the combination was great for acoustic, jazz trios, and chamber music. But, larger scale, more demanding works would run out of gas.
Be sure to add Diy HiFi Supply's kits to your list. They have fanatastic low power amps and a 40W PP amp.
