Contrast/compare 50W tube amps

Any one familiar with these amps,or make recommendations on another.To be used with two speaker systems:Gallo 90db/9 ohms and Open Baffle 90db/6 ohms.THE CONTENDERS:
Quicksilver Triode monos(6c33c-b/50W)
DeHavilland GM-70s
Bat VK-75SE
Atma-Spere M-60 MKIIIs
Trancendant "The Beast" (I know they are 175/W)
I like the tube warmth,but need the extemsion/dynamics.Cabling will most likely be Omega Mikro.
Thanks for looking/responding in advance,Tom

I have purchased a pair of Transcendant Sound T-8 monoblocks at 80W/CH.I will report my findings as things progress.Much room for modifications.These amps are spec-ing out wonderfully>>.1mv DC offset.I understand that once you find a good workong set of PL-509s,you are in business for a good period of time.

Why not give Arthur Salvadors website A look he's got his picks and they are killer, and his ears are not ringing in profit.

FWIW His info on the M-60 is based on an amp that was built about 7 years ago.

Thank you Atmasphere for the web link.Though I'm not sure the same synergy would apply to my system ,as it does to Arthurs'.Every one is entitled to their opinions (right or wrong).
