Very nice!
I was looking at some First Watt amps but I recall that my Aleph 3 and Aleph 30 at 30wpc were marginal in driving my 91dB Tannoys. They played music beautifully but were a little dynamically constrained.
Your speakers appear to be much better suited for lower power amps. Nice room too!

Really? can only assume your Tannoys are either Damaged or Imposters.
Missing Dynamics ! really? Beyond my experiences Mate.
My Golds startle me with their dynamics, every time I fire 'em up... with the Lowish Power of my F6... it's Very Nice.
Better in fact than with Any other amp I've fitted to them over the last 42 years.
The above combo has eliminated ..any.. further upgrade lust.. likely to the end of my days.
...your 'The above combo has eliminated ..any.. further upgrade lust.. likely to the end of my days.' comment mirrors how I feel about my current all-real*-triode output-transformerless poweramps, Atma-Sphere M69 Kk3.3s, slightly improved, of course.
Rated at about 40 Watts into 4 Ohms, they sound fabulous with the Super-7s. The trio of Tung-Sol roundplate 6SN7GTs in each may have something to do with that.
* as opposed to triode-wired pentodes or tetrodes.
