Upgrade, Tube Amp ESL Speakers

I'm thinking about taking the tube plunge and getting a tube amplifier(s) for my Innersound Eros. The Eros are an electrostatic hybrid speaker and have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. I've narrowed the field of contenders to the Wolcott P-220M and the Sonic Frontiers Power 3. I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations between these amps and possibly other tube amps that can drive home the goods while delivering that tube sweetness and presentation. Do you know of any tube amps that mate well with ESL's? We listen mostly to jazz. Pre amp is SF Line 3. No 7-60 watt grandfather amp please.

Any one hundred watt tube amp(minimum) from ARC, VTL, or c-j
will do the job superbly but there are some differences between them. Check them out. I have been running an ARC D-115 on my Accoustat 2+2s for 17 years now without a hitch. Great sounding! (I also have Spectral preamp/amps that are just as good and if you crave hi-rez then they are even better.)
