Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's


I have Gallo Ref3 speakers with the Gallo subamp. Been using NAD S100 preamp and NAD S200 amp. Recently switched to the ModWright 9.0SE preamp. Amazing difference! I had not really heard a soundstage before. Much more involving musically without a big change in tonal balance. Now I am thinking of going tubes all the way. Any recommendation for something under $3K? I listen to jazz and rock mainly.
Thanks!

To Jeffreybehr:
Thanks for your suggestion. I checked out the ASL Hurricanes. They look really good. I really like the idea of not giving up the power of a SS amp. How would you describe them tonally? I am not worried about bass, since I have a Gallo subamp for the second coil on the Ref3's plus a REL Storm subwoofer. Can you describe the midrange and high end? Do they have that midrange liquidity that I miss with my NAD's? Also, how well do they image? How hot do they run? I understand the bias needs to be set quite often. Is this a prob?
Thanks!!
Tonally I find them QUITE attrative without being colored...maybe it's that triode sound I love. I've replaced the 10 coupling caps per amp; mine sound cleaner throughout the MR and treble than they did before the cap change. They image quite largely yet precisely, due mostly I think to their 'mononess'. With 11 tubes per amp, they produce plenty of heat, but that's why God made airconditioning for us desertrats! The bias is stable after the tubes break-in; I tweak mine at the end of every listening session but just because I'm a tweak! I've also replaced the output tubes with the GREAT-sounding-but-highly-affordable Penta/Shuguang KT88SC ($29 each), but not because I had to...I'm just a tweak!

Jeffreybehr: I am really put off by all the reports of problems with the Hurricanes. Especially since there is no factory in USA to support them.
The stories about lack of reliability are of early amps; the late ones are quite reliable indeed. The North-American distributor is in Canada and has established repair centers all over the US. ASL products are as reliable as any other vacuum-tubed equipment AND as easily repaired if something does go wrong.

Did you have the Ref SA connected via the high level speaker output? Any settings you preferred on the Ref SA amp? I have the Ref 3.1 and the Ref SA amp and am thinking about getting the Cary SLI 80, EE 520 or the Prima Luna Prologue 2...leaning on Cary at the moment.
