I would say Archimago's $1000 for the amp is probably near the sweet spot. Sounds like you don't need super-deep bass or "goes to 11" volume levels. Is the reason to go for a tube amp a desire to experience a retro feeling - in that case, i would go for something like the smaller Tannoy dual concentrics - if not, I agree with the KEF LS50 recommendation.
