What tube amp mates well with Sonus Faber Amati's?

I have recently purchased a pair of Sonus Faber Amati's and have not yet decided on an amp. One of the amps I have considered are the Cary 805c's however i was told the bass may be a bit defficient. The speakers are 92db efficient and are rated nominally at 4 ohms. The lowest dip is to 2.9 ohms. I would appreciate any thoughts on the Cary/Sonus Faber combination or any other amplification suggestions regarding this speaker. Thank you

I must agree with Anne that these speakers will have better control with larger amps. I use Airtight ATM3 mono tube amps
which will drive the Sonus Fabers and control the bass. Other possibilities are ARC 200, VTL 250, VAC70/70, etc. I have listened to the Cary 805's with the same observation on lack of bass control. Siltech cables mentioned by Goldorak above are an excellent choice.
