Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?

What would you say is the fattest, warmest fullest sounding Tube amp to fatten up
Merlin VSM's?

They are 8 ohm, and easy to drive. 30wpc would do.

From my understanding, through reading here, the Famous match with AtmaSphere s30 actually doubles up on the natural detailed and spacious yet lean character of the Merlins.

Which Amp would do the opposite - be a little forgiving and sweet in the higher mids and fatter and fuller in the lower mids?

Thanks

I have experimented with my system and can say there are amny things that contribute to lean sound.  So the problem may partly be the speakers inherent nature, however there are plenty of things that an accentuate the problem.                        
#1, Teflon insulation on AC power wire                         
#2 Silver plated AC power wire                         
#2a Silver or silver plated interconnects
#3 Poor in wall connection of AC duplex                               
#3a silver plated AC duplex                                                  
#4 Power conditioners, all sorts...                              
#5 Wrong Power cords...                      
Notice all this is about wire.
