tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr?

Hi
Need assistance -
Do you owners of VSA VR4-jr have experience driving them with any tube amp ?
i'm considering moving towards tubes but not sure they will have enough power for the speakers.

I love what the VK-60 does with these speakers, it is the best sound I have had in my house yet. I have looked at alot of other amps & think running a pair of 60's in mono will give me the best bang for the buck with the most impact.

The research I have found all seems to say there are some difficulties matching the gain between the two. Most folks also say to use an active cross-over as well. Seems like it would be difficult to match well.
