Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?

I currently use a Classe Delta 2200 and a Conrad-Johnson CT5 preamp. I'm considering a jump to a tube amp. 80-100 kohm input impedance would be nice and I'd prefer only input from those who've heard Thiels driven with tubes...Thiels are hungry for High quality power. I have a moderate sized room (21 wide by 15 long). Let me hear your advice.

Well guys, the Jadis DA88S with 8 KT120s in PP class A beat my Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 on my CS 3.7s.

Jadis sounds like real live music with lots of meat on the bone.

Jadis Monos would be fantastic on Thiel speakers.

Do you guys think VAC Signature 200IQ Monos could drive Thiel CS 3.7s pretty well ?

I’ve tried many very high end SS integrated on my 3.7 and as powerful SS can be they never have the musicality of tube amps.

Since I live not very far from the Jadis factory I will try to borrow a Jadis DA88S integrated to make a shootout against my Vitus SIA- 025.
