Sweetness and detail!
JA's measurements showed the output well over 30Wpc.
It was designed to power monitor speakers, and 6 Ohms is fine--look at JA's Measurements sidebar.
A real bargain in refined but punchy amplification. There are several vendors, do some research. Most offer MBGs.
Getting adapter plugs or custom cables RCA M to XLR M is no big deal, and the right vendor might throw them in free.
Good luck,

Lindell claimed to me that the amp was made to their specs and with their specified parts, which I think is entirely possible. You just program the board-stuffing machines differently, or just load different reels in.
I recommended the Lindell because it was the less expensive choice and the major e-tailers who sell it are large companies that can afford to stand by their products and policies, such as, no arguments about MBG requests that fit the previously stated requirements in every respect.
Sad to say, too many brick and mortar stereo stores are "between the knife and the wall," and they can't afford to grin and bear a product return for cash. Which of course diverts more trade to e-tailers like BH Photo.
The definition of a vicious cycle.
I have a friend who has Einstein tubes and the last amp he heard here that he really liked was the Lindell Class A, so: Go figure.
If anyone has any reason to contest that this appears to be an appropriate candidate for the OP and a risk-free transaction, I am all ears.

Brick and mortar stores fleecing customers for yrs, no tears for most of them here, maybe the good ones will make it..

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
I have to say that DOES look interesting. And the write up on it is interesting. Designed by engineers for engineers - nice hook!
Class A amps usually sound louder than their rated power. But, as JA mentioned, this one runs hot.
Get the amp, hook it up, let it warm up a bit, and then play music as loud as you are likely to play it, and see if the meters pin.
The amp is happier at close to full output anyway.
There is another version of it but wit far fewer dealers and it costs more.
By which I mean, the amp obviously comes from the same Chinese factory, it just has a different name and slightly different cosmetics.
ATB,
John
