Tube Amp & Preamp for ML Summits?

I have decided to buy a set of Summits and am looking for some suggestions for a tube amp & preamp. I have a Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD player. I listen to accoustic, jazz, classical and female vocals mostly. Once in a while I do like to listen at a fairly high listening level but nothing crazy. I would like a remote for the pre and the amp needs some power to drive the Summits to a higher level. I would like to stay under $6500 for the pair. Any suggestions?

Definitely consider tubes- for some reason the Summits are bit easier on tubes than some of the other ML models (even our M-60 drives them). Tubes and ESLs are the tradition since the 1950s- its the right thing to do. Above all have fun!

Hi Pal, some of our customers have reported very good results using the MA-1 with the Summits. Recently one of our dealers reported that an audition went very well with M-60s too. So my comments are based on customer reports, which jive with our other experiences with ESLs. I've not heard the new Summits yet but I'm looking forward to it- the reports are excellent.
