Audio physic virgos - Has anyone tried tubes??


I auditioned a lot of speakers in the past year, these were my hands down favorite. Magical prescence, they put the music in your lap, they grab your emotions. I think a SET triode amp would make an already magical speaker even more so. Has anyone tried tubes? I know they are a bit of a load to drive......

I have a CJ premiere 11a, 70 watts. As far as power is concerned, the amp runs out before the speakers, but there is enough volume for me.
I am struggling with position and imaging. The further I move the speakers into the room, and the more distance between the speakers, the bigger/deeper the stage. I would like to get the vocals more up front however. There is no image into the room or beyond the outer sides of the speakers. Have not tried a SS amp with the virgos and am curious if this will move the stage forward.
