Can this be good first tube amplifier?

I found many people who had never used tube amplifier before but interested in trying it out for warm tube sound.

This one looks nice and appears to be good value.

After tube rolling input 12AT7 tubes, it may sound fine.

What is your opinion about it?

Hi shkong78,
   I have the ML-13s paired with Tekton Perfect SET speakers.  

  For a budget tube system, I don't think you can do much better.  I did roll the pre-amp tubes with NOS Mullards and the system sounds much better than original tubes.  

   The Tektons are super efficient and for a low wattage system, it can put out the bass.
