ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp

Sorry I have to start a new thread again about right amplifer for the proAC response 2.5. I am searching a good match for it. Please share your experience on this. I am using Cary SLI-80 sig currently. Sound is beautiful but think there maybe lots of space for further improvment. Based on my researh here:

SS: Plinius 9200

TUBE:
Audio Research (VT100+ LS7)or VT50+ LS7
C-J premier 11a or 12

Pretube/SS Power:
Blue circle BC21/BC22(or BAT 200)

......
anymore input? I listen to classic and some jazz.
the budget is below ~$2500. room size: 16x13x9 . I prefer to tube sound~

Thanks in advance~`

Smileshopper, I bought my Proac 2.5's in England and was informed by the manufacturers that they actual voice/fine tune them using Audio Research valve amps. I have been running mine with the Audio Research VT-100 poweramp and LS25 MKII preamp. These benefit from Siltech cabling with which they are also tuned.

All in all, this is the bery best set up you can get for the Proacs. The whole truly exceeding the amazing parts. Have you seen Michael Fremer's review in Stereophile?
