Amp for Vintage Heresy
Overall I agree with @mrdecibel but really did enjoy a Tube Amp and Tube Pre with my Heresy 1's .  I even ran a Tube DAC with them to take some of the brightness out as they were usually  in smaller room.  My son now has them and uses an old but f... 
Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used
Agreed a Will Vincent , Bob Latino or Van Alstine would do the trick for your budget and have a long life . 300B's are also great but consider the cost of replacing the tubes if you are playing in your office 8 hours 5 days a week . I had a Van A...

Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years.
+1 @jjss49  and My Response 3.5 's aren't going anywhere either until my youngest takes them ~ he has already laid claim to them   Would not mind adding the K8's to the collection and a pair of ATC SCM50's

Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B?
@clhs04 I do not understand the comment that a 300B falls way short of the Power Tube Task. Likely, if they are not in the right "environment", they will fall short.  Like the OP I too have the Daedalus Muse Speakers and enjoy them with a pair of...
