Best DIY SET int/power amp?
For 15Watt/87db/4 Ohm requirement, I would not pursue SET. For best results on SET, 94db/8 Ohm is the minimum I would go for. A friend of my used to own the ASL 1006 845 SETs. Big disappoint. Also, keep in mind that NOS 845s are around $1K each.

If you don't mind getting vintage tube gear, there are many choices under $500. Some of those out performs some $1500 to $5000 full functon preamps we owned in over five different setups.

McIntosh MC60 vs MC30
