I heard a pair Proac Tablette (Signature Series) at Vu's powered by a pair Push-Pull 300B mono block amps and was very impressed! You can type in Proac on Audiogon to see the line.
These monitors took care of a WIDE frequency spectrum that will surprie you due to their size!
Horns also do wonderful things with tubes!!!! Yeah, thats my choice! Klipsch are the more affordable horns, but if your pockets are deep - go Living Voice, Lowther, or Oris. I think the SLI-80 is a pentode amp so you will have plenty power; however, if you like tubes - you may end up moving on to triodes! Triodes bring you more intent and emotion of the music, but they demand efficient speakers to do that. Thats where you really start critical listening!!!! Hope this helps.
