6119, I see that you are getting the AVA amp.  I’m sure that will be an excellent choice.  Keep us posted on how you like the AVA combination.
Regarding laid back amp recommendations I second nypd26’s recommendation of B&K.  The older ones are very laid back and tubelike sounding and if you need a little more muscle but also laid back and tubelike, get the EX442 Sonata.  I’ve had several B&K amps over the years and they are indeed giant killers and great bang for the buck!
