They are fantastic speakers. I'm a JA dealer, and with them you have a lot of flexibility in what you can use. They sound really good with either solid state or tubes. Do you prefer to go new or used? If new, I would look for perhaps either a Rega Brio-R or a Marantz PM 6005 or maybe 8005. If used, it would be hard to beat a Rogue Sphinx. You get both a bit of both tubes and d class amplification.

Ken Leonard is a master at restoring vintage Fisher, Scott, Sherwood or any other tube amp you can think of. I had purchased a Fisher X-100-B and traded it back for a Sherwood S-5000-II, since I needed a little more power. To date, 20+ years, the Sherwood is the best amp I have had in my system. Ken has a long legacy on the engineering side of the recording industry. Read the "Legacy" section of his site and you will get a serious understanding of who this guy is. He has a number of his awesome sounding restored amps that will fit into your budget. Contact him by email or phone Ken is a great guy to chat with. http://aeaaudio.com/

And it's built at the Marantz reference factory in Japan. $1200 msrp so some smart shopping should land you a new one at a grand.
