I use a Lyra Titan-i on my Super Scoutmaster. Before that I was using a Lyra Skala. Both work very well on VPI tables. 
801A Tube Amp for Horn Loaded Speakers
Look into the Quicksilver monoblock tube amps. I use a pair of their Mini-Mite monoblock amps to drive Electrovoice horns, beautiful lively sound and very musical. Handmade in USA, reliable, and not very expensive. Website is www.quicksilveraudio.com
