Looking for low-watt tube amp suggestions.
Check out the Vista Audio. They make a very nice EL84 15wpc tube int amp that sounds great and doesnt cost a ton of money.

instead of spending $1500 to upgrade the jr look for a nice used hw-19 mk iv. I think you can find one for around that price. A saw i nice one on another site that was loaded sold now but they are out there.
