Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers


Hello All,

I've been using the Tyler Acoustics PD30s with Classé Sigma solid state preamp and amp combination.
These speakers have two 15" woofers and a horn tweeter, 4 ohm, sensitivity 101 dB.
The above combination is not the best, especially for complex rock music, the highs start to distort, they are harsh, just bad. Never had tube gears, but after reading a bit, these speakers apparently scream for tubes. Actually somebody brought over a hobbyist-made tube amp and yes, the speakers were tamed.
I'm willing to switch to a tube amp but prefer to keep the ss preamp.
Can anybody recommend a few good tube amp matches here, for a max of 3K new or used. Room is just a good medium size. I want something that I can keep for many years if possible and being somehow flexible to tube rolling.

Thanks.

I propose: Unison research unico 100, Copland CTA 501 tube power,Phatos Logos,Jadis DA 50 s en -DA 30. You will hear the difference . Jadis and Copland the best for their price. Look at 2hands
With 101db speaker, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you buy a higher powered traditional push pull pentode amp without first trying out a SET, OTL or other design that prioritizes great sound over high power output. If the impedance doesn't allow for such, that's a different story. 
Posts above are a combo of good suggestions (e.g. Viva  or Dennis Had's SET amps) and some that seem like they are coming from those with lower efficiency dynamic speakers and are just telling you to buy what they know/like with those designs that have totally different needs than you do.
I have a ton of respect for Rogue , Music Reference and Quicksilver but for your situation it sounds like doing surgery with a machete instead of a scalpel. 
How about Atma-Sphere S30, SETs from Dehavilland like Aries 845s, even the inexpensive Jolida SETs if you can find one.
Perhaps someone can chime in regarding experience with 300Bs when dealing with a 4ohm load? That would help him narrow things down a bit. Cheers,

Thanks for the input.
Actually I'm learning as I'm reading about these different tubed designs, never had one before. And there is a lot to read and learn actually.
And am having a look at all these proposed units.

Actually yes, looking at the specs of my speakers, the logic says to go with SET amplifier.
The  Atma Sphere S-30 looks interesting, but is classified as an OTL type.
Now what?

My experience is that you sure don’t need - and probably really don’t want - 75 watts for each of those really efficient speakers; because amps just sound better when they are using more than just a tiny fraction of their power.  I mean, I’m not an electrical engineer or anything like that - somebody more knowledgeable than I could explain it - but I believe this is why a lot of receivers and amps had loudness switches or dials.  Turn the main volume up and flip or adjust the loudness when playing at low volume.  

This point may of course be secondary to your decision.  But you really don’t need 75 watts per channel for really good sound.  I think using the amp in the link above or another of the few competing American made little SET amps is the way to get really nice sound out of super efficient speakers like yours.  

So, maybe you’re wondering if they will play loud enough without distorting.  Don’t be mistaken... you can still get your speakers loud enough to have the neighbors call the cops... with the volume knob less than half way up.
