Best amps for MBL101e's?

I took the plunge and bought 101e's and restarting the upgrade bug. These speakers are not very efficient and in a large room. I have the EMM labs combo, and probably am going to buy the 6010d preamp that I am demoing right now (great phono section, has the ability to match levels for 4 different output channels). My bias in the past has been tubes (MC2000, VT100mkII)...any suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

I heard the Radialstrahlor with the MBL monos and Thor linestage awhile back and were unbelievable! Effortless,musical and balls to spare. If I had the green the MBL Radialstrahlors and there ( MBL ) monos would be my first choice. They need a whole bunch of clean power to do them justice,but if you have the cash flow its worth it in the end.........

Thorman, thanks! I have two biases, a:, they are so bloody expensive, and b:, if I get them with the preamp, the whole system will look like an expensive Fisher All-in-One:) Seriously think I will have to demo the 9008's though, afterall the speakers are voiced with the amps, or vice versa

I strongly recommend you the CAT JL2 of JL3, please not the MBL amplifiers.
