Your desire for tight bass does not favor a tubed amp.


Solid state bigotry noted.


My speakers are the Epos es-11 bookshelf model, which are biwired.


The EPOS ES-11 is a 87 dB/watt speaker specified for power in the 75 wpc
range.



Wrong.
It is specified for a minimum of 25 watts (I can scan in the spec
sheet, still have it here).


I lived for years with this speaker, and used it with a variety of
amplifiers, tubed, solid state and hybrid, ranging from 15 to 50
watts.

Never had any loudness problem (besides, the speaker will start
compressing when driven above ca. 50 watts).
