Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used


I am in need of a mid-spring to mid-autumn power amp. This is for my office system that gets a LOT of use and is therefore very important, in terms of sound quality. I have been using a great SET amp, but the 845's it's based around simply heat up the smaller room space too much during warmer weather, even when running central air. I've been in the tube audio game a long time, though, and know there are amps with designs and tubes that run far cooler and wouldn't present the room heating issues. 

I pondered something solid state, but there simply isn't much in the power range, which is also within my price range. Also, I would want an amp with at least some tube-like sound qualities, which makes it even more difficult. In a perfect world, something like a First Watt F7 would be ideal, but its twice my budget, used. 

10 watts would do it, but anything up to 50, or so would be fine, of course. It will be powering Omega, single driver speakers of 94.5 sensitivity and be paired with a Zesto Leto preamp. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Music Reference RM-10 if you can find one. If not look for an EL-84 based amp.

Why not buy a Fosi V3? Only $120. Yes, it's Class D but I bet it will sound better than any tube amp! 

Member autospec (Will Vincent) in Idaho makes Dynaco ST70 - based tube amps for around $1500. I purchased one of his SET amps. His workmanship is top-notch!

I’d be interested in a hybrid... maybe Rogue or Vincent? Maybe Schiit?? 

You don't need 10 wpc for those speakers.  To run cool (which I like too) look for a 300B amp.  To meet your price range, look used.
