Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208?


Hi,
Two different stereo store salesmen both told me to use a tube integrated amp (primaluna evo 400, or Ayon V) on my Revel f208.  I live in an apartment, so I rarely listen at concert levels (rock,pop,80's,modern music,etc) ,  But due to that speaker's impedance swings, it's in the 4 ohm region a lot  and needs a 4 ohm capable amp.  I was told by someone else that the Revel f208 likes high current, (Which won't be found in a tube amp?).  I was considering something like Hegel or anthem integrated STR before the prima Luna evo 400  was recommended.  Can  Somebody with actual knowledge chime in so I am not at the mercy of salesman or misinformation?  The speakers are revel  f208 and I'd like to stick with an integrated and stream for simplicity (I have node 2i)Thanks!

Pass INT60. You’re welcome

I’ve owned Rebel speakers for a long time. Initially drove them with a solid state amp:. Missing something. Then I went to tubes- both Conrad Johnson and Rogue, all in the 60 watt range. That’s more like it. Then about 6 or 7 years ago I switched to Pass. BINGO! And since then I’ve never been even slightly tempted to return to tubes 

The INT60 should be an ideal integrated with your 208’s
