Recs for small footprint integrated amp (<= 14 inches W) min 30 WRMS

Need to find a quality small footprint  amp, <=14 inches W for a desktop placement in home office to run Spendor S3/5 monitors with only 84 db sensitivity. Minimum 30 WRS with decent current, 50 may be better. Not sold on Class D so options preferred, likely SS in that price range. Like to keep under $2k new, preferably around $1k-1500. So far came up with W4S mInt  (C), Rega Brio, Heed Elixir. Music played is multiple genres. Speakers are on bookshelf above desk. Replacing HK3490 receiver so lots of upside.

The Konus Audio Integrale is 7.5" wide, 33 watts/channel class AB, and sounds great.

I’ve owned those Spendors and they sound great with tubes. This LSA-VT-70 would be a nice fit!

Thx for all the feedback. Oddly, I had been reading about the LSA for a few weeks for another system simply cuz I never had tubes!. Size likely would not work here unless I can move things around and it couold be really hot too. Will research the others.
