How much you are willing to spend STRONGLY influences your selection.
It is possible to "test the water" without a large cash outlay. The approx. 2 WPC triode wired 6V6 family tubes yield is sufficient for your speakers. It has been said that short of #45 DHTs, nothing sounds better in this power range.
An inexpensive, but high performance, B+ PSU can be built by "full wave" doubling the O/P of a Triad N-68X isolation trafo. High PIV Schottky diodes are every bit as quiet as vacuum rectifiers. ;>)
