As a DIY beginner, your project expectations as a scratch build are too ambitious! You would save yourself a lot of grief by trying to find two used Dynaco Mark III either kits or builds that someone else put together and then modify them. With todays tubes being made in questionable manufacturing circumstances, 60 watts from two push pull tubes is asking a lot. In Class A forget it! That's why you need efficient loudspeakers; 96db/1watt/1meter or greater sensitivity and preferably Class A operation of the output stage. If you meet those two requirements then you won't need 60 watt or of RMS power. A Mark IV would also work. Buying monoblocks like the MK3 or MK4s will allow you to put the amplifier at the loudspeaker with a minimum of cable. Just my two cents and I hope I haven't discouraged you. Good luck, Ray
