Sound

Even though the love of tubes tends to blind all other parameters, your speakers account for a majority of your sound. If 8 watts are not going to cut it, it is highly doubtfull that 20 watts will do any better. A 300b PP will only put out 20 to 25 watts.

Be honest about the load that your speakers present and if tubes other than KT88 or parallel PP KT88 will foot the bill. If your speakers are really current hogs with swinging impedance, you might need a solid state amp with a tube preamp.

You might think about the whole chain and get speakers which support the tube lifestyle.
