What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?

I sold my Forte IIIs and moved in Cornwall IVs.  I have 3 amps to play with, but because I'm doing break in and running them for long periods, I'm using a Class A Music Hall Mambo.  It sounds pretty sublime.   Later I'll try the 300B and PP KT150 integrated.  

What do folks like to pair Cornwall IVs with?  This Class A amp makes me think I should beg Santa for a Luxman Class A!

I didn’t try it with my CW IV, but I did try the Cary SLI-80 with my klipschorns. That was one of the most disappointing amps I have ever heard. And I didn’t much care for the SLP-98 preamp 20 years ago either.

The Decware mention is a good one. I had a Torii II and it was a good match with horns.

One last point. You don’t need two different amps for different music with the cornwalls.  One good tube amp will do everything.
