Amplifier for Altec Valencia speakers


I have found a pair of Altec Valencia speakers for a new blast from the past project. I am hopeful to hear of experience, both good and bad, regarding hunting down amplifiers for these speakers. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts.

I have to wonder what Atmasphere does with all the transformers he doesn't use. Donations to the transformerless among us? Yard sculpture? Paper weights?
My mom always told me for every output transformer made, God kills a kitten.
I'll add to this old thread with another more extreme option. I'm using 1.25 watt from a 46 tube for my 16ohm Valencias,  I do have the option to use a 45/2a3 but the 46 sounds so nice. I do use a powered subwoofer swarm so that helps if the 1.25 watts isn't enough to push the 15 inch driver.  I'm using Werner's crossovers with a super tweeter. I don't listen very loud so that makes all of this possible.
