2.4 Ohms is tough load for tubes. There is a pair of VTL 450's for sale here that fit into your budget that might do. You might want to have a talk with VTL first.

Look for a Dynaco St-80 or St-160 by Panor. They have 2 ohm taps. The 160 is 80wpc and should easily handle your needs. The 80 may get mushy on dynamic peaks.

I have a pair of CS-6's and use VTL 300 Deluxe Mono Blocks which are fully upgraded. They do a darn nice job. I would go with the VTL 450's. The added juice would be a nice addition to great amps.

Good Luck
