Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?

Accuphase but they maybe out of your budget. Consider them a long term investment as they are built to last lifetime. 

There were many comments above that recommended the PS Audio BHK 300 mono blocks and I had a set and they were terrific.  same for the Coda 16 which is my current amp and is an even better match with my Thiel speakers.  i have not heard the newer Coda amp but it is well priced and probably a "giant Killer".

Check out Kora Audio Square Tube design power amplifier TA240.

I am a very satisfied former owner of Jeff Rowland and Merrill amplifiers, but  the Kora sits on the top of my list for naturalness and musicality…..beautifully matched with JM Reynaud Abscisse Jubilee speakers in a medium sized LR.

Alas, input impedance 10k- 20kohm maybe too low for your tube pre….

Vive la France!

I am very happy with Bel Canto Ref600M class D monos.
