It's good when equipment for listening does not break the bank. You seem to have looked at every angle of this one. I wish I was as sensible. I buy stuff and worry about whether it is at all useful weeks' later!
I'm using the Tannoy Eyris DC-3 (89 dB@1W/1m) with my minis using the 4 Ohm tap. They are rated at 8 Ohms nominal but I'm sure they are really at least 6 or below. I'm satisfied with the match and there is still more headroom for when I wanna rock.
Try a set of Sovtek 6L6WXT+ tubes. New Sensor claims they have 20% more output than their 5881's or other sixes. About $55/matched quad. They have surprising low frequency extension. I never expected it. The deep organ pedals on "Selling England by the Pound" come through as deep and tight as with my big solid state amps.
