A used pair Antique Sound labs 1009. Employs a pair of 845's at 60 watts/channel.
You might look at the Canary line of 300B p-p amps, especially the CA-301 stereo amp. I have the big brother monos, the CA-339, and I'm extremely impressed. 22 wpc, but the lower output impedance means thay'll drive 6 ohm speakers better than your average SET. The dynamics and purity of tone of these amps is really something to hear.
The VAC 30/30, purchased used, would likely be a smart choice. Top-notch build quality, very sophisticated sound, and far more powerful than the 32 watt/channel rating would suggest (it can drive a lot of speakers). The use of long-life 300B output tubes and automatic biasing of the tubes make it very easy to own (just turn it on and off -- that's it).

They are available used for a fraction of their very high new price because people don't know how good or how potent the amp is.

Good luck.
Raquel Well don't tell them how good they are then!!! otherwise the price will go up!!!
Manley NeoClassic 300b amplifiers which can be run in single ended or push/pull mode. They will make plenty of power in push/pull for 94db speaker. Nice looking things, too.
