Tube amp to match sensitive Living Voice Speakers


I've had sage advise before and a little more would be helpful. I am pleased with my system and the last prospective change is a new power amp.
My System: Modded Shanling CDT-100
Origin Live Resolution/Illustrious/Koetsu Rosewood Signature
Creek T43 tuner
Conrad Johnson Premier 17 Pre
Pass Labs Aleph 3 power
Living Voice Avatar speakers
Acoustic Zen cables
The Avatar's are highish sensitivity, 94db and were designed around tubes and Kevin the designer is strongly pro tubes. The Aleph 3 is wondeful and I will keep it, but, slightly sweet, a narrow soundstage and lacks a little grunt.
There are so many tube choices, more than solid state, Push pull/ Single ended, Class A or A/B, tube choice, 300B monoblocks/ KT88/EL34/6550.
The obvious choice is a Conrad Johnson MV60 or SE, or Premier 11, to match the Pre and I may well go that way. Anyone any ideas? Particularly of course if you use living Voice speakers.I never buy new if I can and am looking to up spend up to $2000ish 2nd hand
I like most music, Blues, Singer Songwriters, classical and opera, so for the latter, I need something that can cope with a symphony orchestra. Thanks for any guidance

I am using the Living Voice OBX-R2 in a basement of 12'x 30' with a Welborne Labs 300B DRD driving the speakers thru Chimera Labs 26 AWG single run solid core copper wire. My diet of music is exclusively classical music, mainly opera and symphony. With the help of Eigth Nerve new Adadpt line room treatment, the sound of this setup is very pure and has extreme dynamic range. Music can be played louder than it is healthy for the ears without exhausting the amplifier.
I just came back from a concert of Toronto Symphony last night and listening to my rig again, I did not found any major letdown, of course it is still not the real thing. By the way, I use Shanling 200 and Hovland HP100 as source.
