Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod

Has anyone tried a SET tube amp with their SF Guarneri Homage?

Considering a 300B tube amp.

They are rated at 15 watts. I also hear that the Wavac MD300B is suppose to be to die for but the problem is I rarely see them on Audiogon. I have heard that you get 90% of the performance from a pair of Cary's which sell for about half the price of the Wavac. What 300B amps were you looking at? I am currently driving my GH with a McIntosh MC275-II. It sounds wonderful but I keep getting the itch to try 300B.

I wanted to convince myself that I could live with 15 watts but in the end I think I am fooling myself. Has anyone had a chance to try a pair of Cary CAD 805 AE's with their Sonus Faber GH? Any feedback would be much appreciated.
