Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique

Tube amp for Avalon Eidolon ?
Vtin - I had an Anthileon Stereo with a pair of Avalon Eclipses some years back (as well as a DM100), terrific combination as well. Also had it with Rowland 8s and 2, not at the same level as the Gryphon gear I am afraid.Regards

Yes - the UNOs subs are powered (150Watss in this case) I will try an Audio Prism Mantissa EL34 power amp from a friend this weekend and will post my findings.Fernando 
Avantagrde UNO w/ CJ Premier 8
undertow - very true, the thing is that, if I keep the Avantgardes, i will have 260 watts left (unused), so I might go for a less-powered amp. I heard the TRIOs with THOR amps - fantastic!
