Hi Mike;
I think this has been well covered here but my 2c worth is that bi-amping is a great way to have imbalance in your sound and your checkbook. "On paper" bi amping seems like it makes sense but in your listening room you are going to have a sonic disaster.
If you are married to the idea of 2 amps use matched mono block tube amp but NOT bi-amping. Tubes are always welcome as they produce wonderful warm sound and a LOT of volume.
Personally I’d go with a good used Audio Research stereo tube amp with under 1500 hours on it. They are built like tanks, sound amazing, are much more affordable than the new ones, and don’t loose value if you choose to trade up. (Of course sound is a preference like blondes vs. brunettes or French wine vs. California wine. Only you can choose what "sounds best") One other thing- ignore anyone who makes fun of what YOU like.
I have a great used Audio Research VT130 tube amp for sale for sale 3.5K It was my favorite "large format" amp until I put my hand up on a pair of Ref 250SEs (8K 1900 hrs plus nearly $500 in FedEx freight. Ouch!)
Remember the KISS principal- Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Hope this helps!
