recommended power tube amplifier for vivid kaya 45 speakers

Hi,
I would have love to hear your opinion about recommended  tube amplifier for vivid kaya45 speakers. I thought about Jadis JA120 / CAT JL5 / Octave MRE 220 what do you think about those proposals and if you have any other recommendation i would love to hear.
Thanks a lot :)

@mglik Hi,
I agree with you and with all the others that CAT is the best, but after listening to vivid, they were wonderful and bright in my opinion , so I'm a bit afraid that with CAT the sound will be to much bright and that's the reason that i thought about jadis, they are warmer  and more rolled as @joecasey mentioned. That's the reason why I'm in a bit doubt.
Thank you all friends!

@haimr,
CAT is not bright to my ear but everyone has their preferences. I highly recommend demo CAT before final decision. GL!

OP, what preamp are you using? This would would have a fairly important impact on which of the amps you may want to go for. I use the Jadis JA30Mk2's with a CAT and find that to be a wonderful combo. Depending on room size, you have some great options.
