Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE

Recently acquired a pair of Spendor S3/5 SE from a Audiogon member. I am an audio enthusiast and mostly listens to Vocals at low to moderate volume. I never tried Tubes and really want to try them. Could you guys recommend me a tube amp in ~$1000 range. Because of easy biasing, i thought of trying Primaluna Prologue One, but i am afraid it will be underpowered for Spendors.

Rich...i think your SA1's are similar to S3/5's. What kind of music you listen to on SA1+Primaluna combination?

Fsardon...are you using Audiomat Solfege with Spendor S3/5's? I will try to read more on this amp.

I listen to a fairly wide range of music ... opera, americana, rock, mostly music with vocals. Think Placido Domingo to Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan to U2. I also listen at low volumes, because I live in a coop/ apartment building. Tubes work well with the Spendors.

Best regards,

Rich

There's an Audio Space Galaxy being offered at 1099.00 which should be a very nice combo. No relationship to the seller.
A friend of mine has the original LS 3/5a and uses the same integrated as mine (Cary SLI50 EL34 tubes @ 30 watts per channel) and that combo is killer. The Audio Space advertised has both triode and ultralinear which should give you some flexibility. Good luck.
