Tube Amps for Revel Salons

I'm thinking of going back to tube amps. I would either have to sell my first generation Revel Salons or find a suitablr tube amp that works well with them. I love these speakers, but they do require a certain amount of power to bring out the best in them. Anyone driving these with tubes? What do you recommend? What is the minimum power you would use? Or should I just sell them and get speakers that are more tube friendly? Thanks.

I’m using a pair of Denafrips Thallo amps in vertical passive bi-amp mode with my 2024 Salon2s and they work very well. They have plenty of headroom for me but I only listen at about 85dB.

I was previously using a Krell KSA 300s and although more powerful, I don’t notice any drop off in performance.

The Salon2s with the matching Rhythm2 sub produce exceptionally smooth bass in my room.
