Preferred Amps for Magico Mini II?

My dear friend has recently gotten the Mini II's.Stunning speakers,and replaced Kharma 1.0's.
He drives them to a fabulous degree with Rowland 8t SS amps.To voice the system,to his tastes,he uses tubes in the phonostage only.
A wonderful set-up.I heard the VAC stuff driving the Minis,and felt it was a wonderful combo,but believe me the *t was "made" for these speakers.Magical tonality(you would not know they were SS designs)and the BASS is on another planet from what I could have ever expected from these great speakers.
BTW,at 22,600 dollars the price is approaching the limit of where this speaker should be marketed.Just my opinion,and I do think they are expensive to mfgr.
Best.

BTW,just to add some spice to these posts....Though I know how effective the Rowland 8t is on my friend's MINIS(you really could never tell this was a SS amp,until bass demands are needed,and then WOW)there are some excellent alternative amps out there.
The VAC stuff is fabulous,as would be the Ayre MXR's.I believe the Clayton M-200's would be "to die for",and are extremely well priced,for what you get.
Of course there is always the big/bold Push-pull tube stuff,as the speaker definitely likes power,and there are numerous fine products here.
Another tube product looking interesting would be the Cary 211 Anniversary(great amp,and has clout).
Not to mention stuff like Pass 200.5(out soon?),or the rediculously good little(in price only)Nuforce v2 amps(don't laugh,these are inexpensive,though far from cheap,and sound "great").
The Dartzeel is a wonderful amp,but runs out of steam at times,so I have been told by a Mini owner.LOTS of great alternatives,but believe me the Rowland 8t is "dead perfect" on this speaker.You want great tube bloom?It has it.Great soundstage?No problem.Depth,and inner detail?To "die for".Most importantly..the tonal characteristics,and harmonic envelope that have always been the domain of tubes,is here in SPADES!!...A bargain on the used market,and built for a lifetime!If you have not heard this amp on Minis I can understand one thinking I am bloviating.
Best to all.
