Upgrade, Tube Amp ESL Speakers


I'm thinking about taking the tube plunge and getting a tube amplifier(s) for my Innersound Eros. The Eros are an electrostatic hybrid speaker and have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. I've narrowed the field of contenders to the Wolcott P-220M and the Sonic Frontiers Power 3. I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations between these amps and possibly other tube amps that can drive home the goods while delivering that tube sweetness and presentation. Do you know of any tube amps that mate well with ESL's? We listen mostly to jazz. Pre amp is SF Line 3. No 7-60 watt grandfather amp please.

Last summer when in Toronto I had the opportunity to visit a dealer who carried the SF gear and Martin Logans. We hooked up the Power 2 to the ML SL-3 speakers and while it did a nice job it paled in comparison to the Power 3 amps. With what would appear to be very good prices as of late on the SF gear (maybe as a result of the reported new Signature line coming out...) I think the Power 3 would do an outstanding job on your Eros. Have never heard the Wolcott's so I can't compare.
