altec Model 19’s and ss integrated

It doesn't use the autoformers but I've heard it's still pretty Mc sounding. 
I haven't heard one but if you have then I trust your opinion. I could go the 2105 amp with mx110z pre route. I'm trying to keep under 4k. 

The croft is intriguing. I've been doing some reading up on it. The sansui 1000a has around 40-50wpc of tube power. It's very powerful. I just wonder what 100-200wpc of these new ss integrated would sound like. 
I might stay with tubes. These 19's replaced the lascalas and I must say that there's no comparison. These speakers really put a smile on my face. The best vintage speakers I've ever owned. They beat my jbl l300's- my 2nd favorite pair.

​Lucky you. My Altec 19’s are long gone due to relocation/downsizing and I miss them to this day... I started using them with SS because it was all I had at the time but like a lot of other owners, transitioned to tubes after a while.
In hindsight there's a few low-power SS amplifiers I would have loved to try out with the Altecs: the Sugden A21, a Luxman or Accuphase class-A integrated, the Pass INT-30... or for much less money, a Clones Audio 25iR that recently left me speechless with its clarity and soundstaging abilities.
However if I had the 19's again I would definitely be looking for a EL84 integrated: something like a Leben CS300, an Audio Note Oto SE or a Triode Labs/Finale integrated. An Almarro A205A would also be an interesting, cheaper option.
And last but not least, thanks to their >99dB sensitivity you have the whole world of flea-powered SETs at your disposal... but that's a slippery slope indeed!

Excellent thoughts lanvz. I’m actually starting to lean towards a pure class A 
integrated like luxman or pass. I think I’m starting to narrow down finally. 
Thank you all for your experience and input.
