Tube amp for ProAc Tablette Anniversary

I bought a ProAc Tablette Anniversary paired with Rega Brio R. I've read ProAcs are voiced with tube gears so I borrowed a vintage bell integrated tube amp and what a difference. I love the sound better than using SS amplification now I'm looking for a tube amp that would be sufficient to power my speakers. the Price range would be under $5,000 what i'm looking at are Leben CS300 or 600 for now. Any other brands you guys tried with ProAcs?

I have heard the Proac Tablette Anniversary with the Leben CS 300 and I thought it sounded great. I also heard them with a very low powered SET amp (1.8 wpc). They sounded very real with the SET amp, but the power was inadequate for much other than guitar and vocals.

Unless you are listening near field you will want some power on this speaker. Smaller SETs will be disappointing.
