Tube amp for Avalon Eidolon ?


I have no experience with tubes, and want to give them a try on my Avalon Eidolon (not diamonds) speakers (87 dB sensitivity, 4 ohm nominal, 3.6 ohm minimum). I'm using dCS Elgar + Purcel front end and currently not using a pre-amp, cardas neutral reference cables. I listen mostly to jazz, some classical, some rock.

Looking for suggestions on tube amp(s), preferably with balanced inputs, but not mandatory. I'm willing to spend some money, up to say $15k, and will probably try to buy used.

Thoughts and recommendations appreciated. Thanks. John.

I am driving my Avalon Eclipses with a pair of Conrad Johnson Premier8 with great success - it has a lot of authority over the speakers, great musicality and drive - you might like it.
Vtin - I had an Anthileon Stereo with a pair of Avalon Eclipses some years back (as well as a DM100), terrific combination as well. Also had it with Rowland 8s and 2, not at the same level as the Gryphon gear I am afraid.

Am driving Eidolons with VAC 140 monblocks, which I really like.
By the way, the best digital system I have ever heard was all Boulder driving Eidolon Diamonds.
I am using VAC PHI 70s and they better all my previous

ML333 (awful)
VT200 (metallic)
VT130 with KT88 and Auricap (OK)
VAC Vintage 100 mono (getting there but sometimes strained)

I listen to classical and Jazz mostly.
