What amp for Goldenear Reference speakers?

Thought this would get more attention here from those with Goldenear speakers.  If I am fortunate enough to get Reference speakers what amps are you guys using to drive these?  I'm not buying that a receiver type amp will cut it.  So what is recommended to drive these?  I tend to listen to things on the louder side.....

heard them several times being driven by a primaluna tube amp.  

the GE powered woofers do not require much power for very loud sound and the PL amps delivered a smooth refinement that made for nice synergy.

Rogue tube amp. And I'm not really a tube guy, but they are great with GEs.

When I had my T1s the best match I had was Odyssey Stratos Plus with Tube Preamp. I personally did not think tubes were a great match although on paper you would think probably would be. They had just slamming bass with the Odyssey and really big powerful sound. Good stuff.
