Amp recommendation for Sonus Faber speakers??

In particular the Toy Towers. I have an Emotiva XPA-2 right
now but wonder how they do with tubes? May be just fine with the Emotiva.

Any ideas appreciated.

Given those parameters most 30+ watt tube amps should be OK. You will have to decide on a budget. The Emotiva is relatively inexpensive but most good tube amps are not as easy on your wallet.

Or getting a tube pre for the Emotiva. Just now got the Toy's hooked up and am shocked by how "powerful" & solid they sound for such a smallish floor stander in a 20x20x12 room.
