Looking for good 20 watt amp design to drive Jordan TL's? [message #11218]

Hi,
I am trying to help a friend track down a good 20 watt SET design that will firmly run a pair of Jordan JX92S TL speakers.
He use to own a pair of Welborne Apollo MKII's and would consider going back that direction. But we feel that at 20 watts, the VV52's were short lived, not a good investment at $500 a pair.
Is there a better alternative short of using an 845 at 900 Volts plus, or a $500 a pair of VV52's to obtain the desired 20 watts?
If a P-P circuit would get you to that musical 20 watts with plenty of drive, that could be an alternative to the big tube SET's.
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Norris Wilson
