What is a good combination for Proac Res 2.5?

I owned a pair of "Proac" Response 2.5 speaker, and now I'm looking for a "TUBE amp" to go with it. From what I heard and read on the review, I got interested in either "Jadis Defy 7" or "ARC VT-100 mkII, mk III" and also the "CJ's"

Anyone has any advices for me?
Which amplifier can bring out the character of my speakers the most?
What I'm looking for is just "TUBE amplifier".

well, It'd be nice if you can also tell me the pre-amp that goes along with the power amplifier you'd talk about.

I'll really appreciate your help.

Thanks !

I've always run Proacs with tubes. Had a pair of quicksilver silver edn monos, but they were a mite dark. I'm running a pair of Response 2s with a pair of bridged solid state ARC D240 Mk IIs (pre is a tubed ARC LS-5 Mk III) and a pair of 3.8s with a pair of vertically bi-amped ARC VT-100 Mk IIIs (pre is a tubed ARC LS-16 Mk II). I like the LS5 better than the LS16, but the LS16 has a remote. I like the VT100s better than the D240s, but the D240s do have better low end control.

I believe that Proacs are, or used to be, "voiced" with ARC electronics.
