What tube amp to drive Guarneri's?


My current amp is a Rowland Model 8 with choke. It drives the SF Guarneri's very well and sounds great. However, I would like to add a tube amp that would compliment the speakers, what suggestions?

I used to own the Guarneri and drove them at the time with the Welborne Apollo II single ended amps. They produced 18-20 watts. The combination was pretty awesome. I would think a good single ended 845 amp would work. Something like a Komura 845 or Sophia Electric 845, or even De Havilland 845.
Have heard them in a showroom with Air Tight ATM-2 amps and it sounded extremely nice.
Tmiddle, do you remember what other equipment was being used with the ATM-2's?
Also, what kind of music were you listening to?

Chris, I am a little surprised that you fed your G's with only 18-20 watts, since my Rowland at 250 watts is working to drive them, although I suspect not too hard. My room is very small, is yours?
I remembered the KR enterprises amp model: It's a KR-"Kronzilla" using of course a 1610 tube (not 1611).

It's a SE with ~25W/ channel. They also have monos (~40W/channel SE) which the Guarneri owner ultimately ended up with.

Since you asked -- albeit in a different context -- the room here was big (~600 / 60m2)
Davey,
I had the set up in two different rooms. They actually worked better in the larger room which was 21' x 15.5'. I don't listen at obscene levels, but never clipped the amps. 20 watts of Apollo SET is probably like 80 watts of SS, and I'm sure having output transformers help in driving the speakers. I found the Guarneri did not like my smaller room, so I sold them and bought Avantgardes which actually worked a bit better in the smallish room. They are gone now too.
