Tube amp to pair with Triangles?

Hello, I've owned a set of triangle zerius 202 for about a year now. I'm looking for a tube amp that will compliment it nicely, and take away some of that treble Triangles are known for. The listening room is small 12x14ft but has a bit of acoustic treatment. This would be my first tube amp and I need some guidance as to where to start. Music is mostly classic rock which I know the triangles aren't best for, but I am determined to find an amp that will make them work. Should I be looking at SET's too? The minimum impedance is 4ohms, nominal 8. I cannot find an impedance curve, my budget is around 1000-1500 used.

I just wanted to point to another alternative... tubes are great, don't get me wrong. I have Antals 202, and also experienced a little too harsh treble-depending on recordings. All solid state gear, transport to DIP upsampler-to DAC. However, when I upgraded the front end to a single unit modded universal player... this brightness disapeared. These speakers are exceptionally revealing of what is fed to them..... and very sensitive to "digititus" and jitter. I have no idea what your source is, but I believe the quality or matching of the source can be more critical than the amp.
These are great speakers, good luck.
