Tubes with Tylers

Hello to all, I'm thinking of trying some tube amps and have Tyler Acoustics Ref III speakers and like to get some feedback on what tube amps have worked well with them. Budget is $2500 and will buy used. I'm looking at Rogue 120 monos, AES six pacs, Dodd monos etc, etc. I have heard good things about these three amps, any others I should be looking at? Thanks.

Jsawhitlock,

I don't know about the Ref III's, but I know that with the Tyler Signature's, tubes don't work very well unless you have tons of tube power. I tried some 70-watt class A mono's with the Sig's and it sucked. The speakers draw all kinds of power.

Used an old 200watt solid state amp with much better results but even that was being taxed by the Sig's.

Again, I don't know about the Ref III's, but I'm going to guess that all Tyler's would prefer a lot of solid state power over some tube power.
