Tube Amplifier for Avalon Arcus

A friend of mine has a pair of the Arcus, and I think they are very fine speakers. Their only ommission is the lowest octave - but they are very musical, image well, etc. He borrowed a pair of my VTL MB-450's (now for sale), and fell in love with that combination. However, the 450's are a tad on the expensive side for him, and he'd rather have a stereo amplifier anyhow. Any recommendations for him? He's been looking for a VTL ST-150, but they are just not coming up on market these days. His preamp is a VTL 2.5.

Thanks, Peter

I reccommend Jadis Defy 7 (mark III or higher) or integrated DA88s. The match is made in heaven. Very natural, sweet, happy, addictive, just for music lovers.
I've tried to match my Ascendants with Accuphase, Cary, Krell, Dartzeel amps and none of them is not even close.

Don't forget about Stealth, Siltech, Stereovox ICs/speaker cables.
