The Audio Note kits will get you about halfway there in terms of power. The Kit 1 is 10 watts, the Kit 2 is 12. What did you think of my Kit 2? If you'd like, we can try it on your friend's Jordan's and see if he likes them.
SET amps sound good in the midrange and higher frequencies, but the real thing to listen for is bass performance. That's the hard part for a SET amp. Most loudspeakers require electric motor braking (literally) because the main part of damping in the T/S specs is electrical, not mechanical. So the output impedance is very important to bass response. If the bass sounds boomy or tubby, try it with a PP amp and see how you like it.
