I am looking for new or used, at least 100w 8ohm per channel, no more than 200w per channel. I am using a tube pre-amp, based on the 12au7 and presently using new oskar heil speakers. My musical tastes run to jazz and classical. Let the opinions fly.
Kool39, you saw the preamp, I saw the speakers :). The Heil tweeters have a reputation for being somewhat bright. I didn't think a bright amp would match very well with them. In that vein, I don't think Bryston or Krell would work particularly well, either.
If your running a tubed pre-amp youll absolutely love an Aragon 8008BB or 8008ST(grab the 8008BB if you can find one under $1000). Incredible control with very smooth and detailed mids and smooth grainless highs. Ive heard a combo involving a tube pre with an 8008 on a pair of B&W 802's and was very impressed.
