ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp


Sorry I have to start a new thread again about right amplifer for the proAC response 2.5. I am searching a good match for it. Please share your experience on this. I am using Cary SLI-80 sig currently. Sound is beautiful but think there maybe lots of space for further improvment. Based on my researh here:

SS: Plinius 9200

TUBE:
Audio Research (VT100+ LS7)or VT50+ LS7
C-J premier 11a or 12

Pretube/SS Power:
Blue circle BC21/BC22(or BAT 200)

......
anymore input? I listen to classic and some jazz.
the budget is below ~$2500. room size: 16x13x9 . I prefer to tube sound~

Thanks in advance~`

I found the Proac 2.5 benefits from serious power. I think the sonic signature and overall level of quality of the Cary SLI-80 would be a great match, and the power adequate but not optimal. That is, I think that more power would be likely to provide a substantial improvement. When I switched from 11a to Premier 12's on my Proac 2.5's there was a substantial improvement, and I suspect that even more power would have helped.

BTW I could have lived with the 11a on the Proac 2.5 no problem. It's just that adding power is an opportunity to improve the quality of sound, and this is not always true for all speakers.
