Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE

Recently acquired a pair of Spendor S3/5 SE from a Audiogon member. I am an audio enthusiast and mostly listens to Vocals at low to moderate volume. I never tried Tubes and really want to try them. Could you guys recommend me a tube amp in ~$1000 range. Because of easy biasing, i thought of trying Primaluna Prologue One, but i am afraid it will be underpowered for Spendors.

Rbrowne...my room is 19ftX11ft(with a 10ftX9ft extn to the side...actually L shaped room). So i think its a small room.

And also to be more specific about music i listen to - its mostly male/female Vocals, violin and flute and artists like Bob Dylan and Clapton etc.

Using the Prima Luna Prologue 2 with Spendor A1's. No problem driving them at all.

Best regards,

I'm using an Audiomat Solfege Reference integrated. Great combo.

Rich...i think your SA1's are similar to S3/5's. What kind of music you listen to on SA1+Primaluna combination?

Fsardon...are you using Audiomat Solfege with Spendor S3/5's? I will try to read more on this amp.
