Music Reference vs. Quicksilver

I am in the market for a lower powered tube amp.....small, moderately efficient speakers in small room. I am thinking about either a used RM-10 amp (35 watts our of a pair of 6bq5 tubes), or a used pair of Quicksilver mini-mites (25 watts out of a pair of el34 tubes). Any one got recommendations based on their experience? Appreciate the input.....

I am using an RM10 (original version) to drive as pair of Proac 2_5's in a 2nd system.

Plenty of nice spounding power in a 12*14' high ceiling room.

Quicksilver Mini-Mites are self-biasing, and can run at least four different types of power tubes with no modifications necessary. Simply pop in whatever you like. They are phenomenal amps, IMO, and silly cheap. The EL34's are sweet, nearly SET-like, and these amps will easily rock with KT88's.
