Tube amp suggestions for Divine Acoustic speakers

Thanks for steering me in the right direction guys. Aric's amps, the Carver Crimson 275 and the PrimaLuna line up had been amps I was looking into before posting, Many options to research! 

More than OP needs, but anyone looking for lots of tube power, 250 wpc:

Seller wrote back, yes it includes a pair of Mono-Blocks, $3,000.

VTL MB-250 Monoblock Tube Amps

Check out Audio Mirror 45 Watt SET monoblocks. Easily drove my 87dB speakers beautifully. Loved the sound.  And Vlad provides excellent customer service.  

If you can score the Carver Crimson 275 for $2750 as advertised on Underwood's website, I'd do it in a minute. His 'homage' to the McIntosh MC275with the kind of original thinking and tweaks only Bob Carver can do, plus a very conservative design relative to tube life, that would be a no-brainer for me. At 75W/Ch it may be a bit more power than you would otherwise buy, but I would just consider it extra headroom.

My second choice would be an EL-34/6550 roughly 40W/Ch Amp. A restored vintage McIntosh MC240 would be great, but a more modern interpretation of that basic architecture would also work very well.

I would take a close look at the Prima Lun 200/300/400 models. They're kinda textbook examples of the most common approaches to the EL-34 design world: Triode and Ultralinear, plus tube options including the EL-34, KT-88, KT-120, and KT-150. I'd probably lean towards the KT-88, but that's just me.

After hopping about hifishark, I would research these

Rogue Audio Stereo 100

BAT VK-60 just listed here

Margules 280U-SC

VTL MB-250 (listing says amp, photos show two, possible he meant the pair, forgot the S?

Carver Crimson 275, new on sale at underwood hifi, 5 yr warranty

I really would not want to try driving 89db speakers with just 2 watt as others have echoed. 

A used AirTight ATM-1 or Leben CS660p would be good match. Brand new I would get a Lab12 Suono or Suara.  

triode/ultralinear gives you optional power ratings; and mono capability gives you the opportunity to double up in the future. You might limit your search to amps with those features.

I agree, I would want 35 wpc or more for instantaneous peaks.

@ten_ton_bass I just wanted to provide my experience here and say that a 300B SET amplifier will not be able to drive your speakers very loudly, so if you're listening at 70-75db levels, it might work. Otherwise I really like push-pull amplifiers for speakers that are in the 89 db range, and in fact I've had clients successfully drive Magneplanar 4 ohm speakers using my Transcend Push Pull, even with only 35 watts per channel and EL34s. So you could definitely use that to drive your Divine speakers to healthy, and even loud levels. In fact, a push pull tube amplifier is pretty much perfect for these speakers and SET starts to really shine when using speakers at 93 db and above. There will be opinions all over the map here I'm sure, but I have had more than a few customers express they're very happy with such a pairing.  All the best, Aric

Dont.

I have no idea how they say a 2 wpc amp will drive 89dB speakers. I’m using 2wpc on my 96dB speakers.

I generally don’t recommend tube amps for insensitive speakers. Many do it but I don’t think they get the advantages of a tube amp like they would with a sensitive speaker and end up with a compromise.

I’d go with a 25 wpc class A solid state amp.
