Tubes or Solid State for Joseph Audio speakers

I own a pair of Joseph Audio RM-25Si's and have been using tubed pre and power amps. Have any Joseph owners found an outstanding combination of pre/power amp that has been accurate yet sufficiently warm, and serves the music well? I listen primarily to LP for enjoyment, secondarily to CD. I really enjoy the Joseph's and they are a pretty even load for amps to drive, and I plan on keeping them. I have tried contacting Joseph Audio for their input, but with no results so far. I need to keep the power amp under $1500, and will keep my tube preamp.

I heard the Rm25xl at the Stereophile show in 2007
on the Moscode 402P hybrid integrated amplifier.
This was one of the best sounds at the show.
The Rm25xl had a really nice articulate sound and the bass was really good.
The Moscode used a passive volume control in the hybrid integrated amplifier.
I remember asking the guy at Joseph Audio about the 7 inch drivers he used in the Rm25xl speakers.
I really liked the way these drivers sounded.
He was telling me they were modified Seas drivers.
Here's a link about the Joseph Audio's RM25XL on the Moscode 402P hybrid integrated amplifier. Its at the bottom.
It used a Teas Esoteric DV 50 DVD CD player for the audio.
The Moscode 402P used a Placette Audio volume control for the volume.
