ARC tube amp recommendation for ProAc 1sc

Hi All,
I've been driving my ProAc 1sc's with a Bryston B60 for many years. It's a nice sounding system, however, I always planned to feed them with tubes someday. Just started doing some research and I see that many recommend ARC as the ideal match for ProAc's. From a power and price perspective, I'm thinking Classic 30, VT50, VT60 or Classic 60.

Does anyone have (or have heard) any of these pairings? Are these all good potential candidates? Or maybe there are other's I should also consider?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

The new VSi60 with the new KT120 tubes would be a PERFECT fit. The orginal version of that piece is simply gorgeous and the new one with the newer tubes is off the charts. Look for latest review in Stereophile where the reviewer basically was STUNNED at how good it was and in a lot of areas was better than his REF 110. It's that good.

Yes, it' an integrated so maybe not on your list if you have a good preamp but I'll be willing to bet it would turn out to be better than the choices I see others have posted so far.

PS. Second place: Classic 60
