Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE

Recently acquired a pair of Spendor S3/5 SE from a Audiogon member. I am an audio enthusiast and mostly listens to Vocals at low to moderate volume. I never tried Tubes and really want to try them. Could you guys recommend me a tube amp in ~$1000 range. Because of easy biasing, i thought of trying Primaluna Prologue One, but i am afraid it will be underpowered for Spendors.

There's an Audio Space Galaxy being offered at 1099.00 which should be a very nice combo. No relationship to the seller.
A friend of mine has the original LS 3/5a and uses the same integrated as mine (Cary SLI50 EL34 tubes @ 30 watts per channel) and that combo is killer. The Audio Space advertised has both triode and ultralinear which should give you some flexibility. Good luck.

Since your preference is vocals, go with the EL34 tubes. They will favor the mid/treble. Kt88's will give more bottom end weight and extension and more overall power which you indicate is unnecessary.
