No, its not to simple. But we all do not know what sounds good to you and therefore the best would be if you go to one or more dealer and listen to different tube amps. Or even better, ask your dealers to get different tube amp models for some days and test them at home in your known listening environment and oyur speakers and without stress. > I would like to connect a Squeezebox to it, maybe a turn table, too.

I’ve looked around the net and for your speakers a amp wit at least 30W is recommended. Many tube amps to not have that much power ;-). So take care that the amp has enough power but its not said that you need it. I depends how loud you want to listen and how it sounds. Also this has to be tested at home with your speakers and it is very likely that also amps with less then 30W output will work with your speakers. What kind of squeezebox do you like to connect? If you have a touch or a Transporter no DAC is needed, a Classic does not have a DAC included so either also a external DAC is needed or the amp has to be able to do digital to analog conversion. > Is that possible? Yes, ofcourse! I also use a tube amp with a external DAC and Squeeezeboxes.
