The 2A3s will drive the Cabasses? Interesting.
If you don't need remote volume control (it's a must for me) you might try to find a used Joule Electra LA100. The entire Joule range are great sounding and very musical. My memory of the 2A3s I owned some years ago were they are quite transparent with the right speakers. I think the BAT stuff might be a good match, too. You probably like a faster, more dynamic sound and BAT can give that. Be leary of C-J pres as those available in your price range may be a bit veiled and lacking in dynamics.
