Adding tube sound to my SS system

Small speaker advice
I just bought a pair of KLH Model 3's.......OMG, These are FUN Speakers. Their detail is off the charts...I'm dancing around my listening room with a Big smile on my face.....Some feel it's a better speaker than the model 5....These guys are a KIC... 
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
Aavik U-150......  
QLN Prestige 3
My Borresen X3's took 500 hours to settle in.....They are fantastic and non fatiguing but quick, snappy and detailed. You'd like them.  
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
Every speaker mentioned here is a fine speaker...I would stay away from Active ones because you have no choice but to use their electronics. The Borresens and the new PS Audio would be my 1st. choice.

Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Stereophile.....The more you spend on advertising...the better the reviews.. .....The X-3's have a very Modern look.....It's not as Warm looking as a double the price wooden box. The X-3 is not only a beautiful speaker to look at, but a beautiful ... 
UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST
