Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR

I just purchased a pair of beautiful Tannoy Turnberry GR speakers and now I need to purchase an amplifier for them. I would really love to try a SET amp but definitely want to stick with a tube amp(s). I have a line on some Wyetech amps - a pair of Wyetech Onyx rated at 13 watts and a Wyetech Topaz 211 rated at 18 watts. The Onyx mono blocks are available for around $2000 while the Topaz is going for $6000 - the Topaz is at the very top of my budget.

How would these amps do with the Turnberrys? What are other Turnberry owners using?

Either One would work well. I use a Sophia electric 845 that gives great results. Another option that would be less money is a pair of antique sound lab 1006 monos. I know a guy that will be selling an upgraded pair if your interested(no affiliation).
Great speaker, I have the yorkminsters.

The Wyetech Amplifiers have earned esteemed reputations for sound and
built quality. Two different sound characters I'd imagine, output tubes are
6AS7GA vs 211 tubes. 2K seems a very good value for the Onyx mono
blocks.
Good Luck,

Thanks guys. Yes I am leaning very much towards the Onyx mono blocks. They seem like very capable amps at a decent price.
