I have enjoyed the Decware Mini Torii with Tekton speakers. Mini Torii offers a lot of flexibility with tubes to tailor the amp to your preferences. Really nice build quality as well.
I am currently using Almarro 205 II with Tekton, I found that the sound is overall good but not great. Specifically, the midrange is not warm enough and the high is a bit harsh. Maybe just because of the stock tubes as Mikirob point out.
I am thinking of directly heated triode (Almarro 205 is single ended pentode EL84 output) tube such as 300B, 2A3 or 45, if these are better choice than Almarro 205.
I owned the Pendragons and ran them with a pair of Wyred 4 Sound mono amps (SX-1000s and SX-500s). They sounded terrific -- smooth, extended but never harsh, excellent imaging with dynamics galore. I had several people over to listen to the speakers and all were very impressed with the sound. I moved to the Wyred amps out of necessity (really hot here in AZ for 6 months of the year) but have really been pleased with them.
