Borg,
You have gotten good suggestions. Jeff Day owns these speakers and did a long and extensive review of the Sophia Electric 3oob SET amp using this speaker and was overjoyed with the combination.The review is at Positive Feedback Online.He preferred this 8 watt amp to his push-pull Leben amplifier driving the Tannoys,YMMV. I f these are truthfully 98 db sensitive speakers then a 'good' SET amplifier should have no problems at all(as Jeff Day pointed out).I use an 8 watt SET to drive 94db speakers with zero problems and prefer it to my 100 watt UL (60 watt triode) push-pull class AB amplifier.Hope you can get the chance to hear it with a good SET amp.
Good Luck,
