Welcome to the forum. EL84 works very nicely with Tannoys. A push-pull 10W EL84 amplifier should sound very nice. Try a search on the forum - there are lots of designs.
It's not the valves you have that decide a design, it's the transformers and chokes (they're more expensive). A push-pull design is slightly more complex than single-ended, but success is almost guaranteed. Single-ended amplifiers are more sensitive to component and layout changes.

Hi,
No problem.
If your source of music is CD, tuner, cassette, tape, all you need is enough sensitivity at the amplifier input and a volume potentiometer to set the level you prefer.

For the first time is well an integrated?

Hi, thanks a lot, my sources are mostly lps, cds, radio and some dvd-audio. The phono stage should be in the pre? What pre is better for the el84. I have somes 12au7,12ax7,12at7. and likes me with some kind of control of bass and trebble.any sugestions?
Thanks at all for your patience.

Agreed. If you wish to go the single-ended route, start with a well-established design and follow the schematic to the letter (or number).
