Hi.
I have make a few passlab class A amps so now I think it's time to make a tube-amp. I also have assemble two tubeamp kits for some friends, one of them is model 16LS from tubedepot. The 16LS did not impress me much. So after a lot of search I'm still confused.
Therefore I need suggestion for a very good sounding tubeamp.

Quality (poor?) of the OPT's perhaps.

I mean, the sound did'n impress me. I think the bass was weak.
I consider the simple SE from tubelab.
Will this be a good choice?
Excellent choice, but with less power

I'm surprised you got any bass with those teeny OPT's. Maybe try hooking up the amp to some better quality transformers.
How efficient are your speakers?

I don't know the efficient of my speakers. It is DIY 2-way bookshelfs.
Vifa or Scanspeak drivers?

How about considering a hybrid and get the sound of valves with output power and depth of a SS output stage?
Or if separates aren't an issue, a tube line stage in front of an SS PA
I recommend Pete Millet's E-linear amp http://www.pmillett.com/elinear.htm
Or,
Simple SE can also give you the power your looking for if you wire it ultra-linear.
