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.

Marakanetz, thanks for the advice. It sounds like if I want to go to tubes, I should plan on swapping speakers too.
I'm currently using Stellavox PW1's (200W) which drive them very well.

What about ARC Reference 150? I'm not really looking for the classic warm tube sound. I'm looking more for the smooth pleasing tube sound.
Any solid state amps you would recommend to get a smooth sound (no solid state harshness)?
