Merlin speaker /Amplifier combinations?


Merlin speaker owners/users.Which amplifiers do you recommend to use with Merlin.It seems that Valve/Tube amplification is very popular.My question refers more to Hybrid or Solid State amplification that would work well with Merlin VSM'S.Any opinions on the matter will be appreciated. My own speakers would be the VSM-MM's.

Thanks for the info on the thread.
It does however not really answer my question as the Thread is full of very insightfull advice regarding Berning,Atma-Sphere and of course Joule.All valve/tube amps.
I'm more interested in recommodations regarding Hybrid or solid state amps to use with the Merlin VSM's.I've had three Hybrid amps .Valve Audio 802,Valve Audio Predator and my current amp the Pathos Logos.(As a matter of interest Valve Audio made by Schalk Havenga of Pretoria ,South Africa .)I am also refering to the VSM-MM as I bought these on the advice of Mr Palkovic,who suggested them in favour of the MX,if used with Solid State output amps.I also had Proceed PRE and HPA2 combo at one stage ,but no comment on that!
Thanks

PS:Thanks to all of you who have responded on all my Threads,it has been very educational .
The standard solid state recommendations (from Bobby and Rich) are the Belles 150A Reference and the Simaudio W-5. I use the Belles with my VSM-MMs, and I continue to be amazed by the music (and the amount and quality of bass) as it flows through this system.
i just picked up my VSM-MM upgrade . unreal is all i can say. & to top it all off .....im using the first amp i ever bought (maybe 15 years ago) a $350 B&K st 140.. the sound is superb. the upgrade is WELL worth it. the speakers arent even broken in yet. the sound is HUGE & the bass is nice & deep. soundstage improved & the space between the instruments also.
