Absolutely right - and that was before Covid! It is very difficult to go and audition something - love it - and then buy all the components.
Most of us have to do this in stages. So the best suggestion is try to audition and hear a total system you really like and then strive to get that system in stages. If that happens to be a SET and HE speaker then you sort of choose to do whichever one you can afford.
So a 20 ish watt class A will drive most speakers - and IF you plan to buy an HE speaker at some point then you can live with the amp for awhile because you have a plan to get more out of the amp later.
If you are absolutely tied to a speaker than is more suited to a 100 watt amplifier then that's great too - you just have to work on finding the amplification. So perhaps purchasing a more powerful amplifier with prein and later adding a tube preamp.
If you are willing to go to tubes - you can actually spend around what the PASS is going for - but get class A at higher power. But you then have to be willing to deal with tube amps. You could consider the Pureaudio One - it is class A and 100 watts per channel. And it can be used as a power amp. Engineers from Plinius left to form this company. But the amp is $10,000 US list which might be getting up there. Also, because it is not well known it will be harder to sell than Pass Labs.
