As already mentioned the higher powered VTL's are a good choice also consider conrad-johnson, used Premier 12's or P 8's would work well. Their current models would work also but might not fit your budget. Good luck and happy listening!

I might also suggest a cj premier 140 used will be in your price range as will the premier 12's the 8a's will be a stretch. Tube amps and Thiels are very good together.
