Advice on tube amp/pre

Hi,
I have a pair of Proac D25's doing service with a Moon I-3. Hoping to move to a tube setup, possible with a tube pre via the moon for a while or else a tube integrated. Looking for phono support as the main immediate driver hence the possibility of a tube front end..
Has anyone experience with these specific Proac's and tube setup who could offer advice? I seem drawn to the Manley stingray however hoping to gain a broader perspective from some sampled combos..
Thanks

I sell and own ARC and ProAc. Stuart Tyler (ProAc's designer) has used Audio Research tube amplifiers for years.

The D25's get along very well with any of the tube preamps from the SP16 on up and also don't need very much power. I drive them with the VS55 all the time and get excellent results. At the other end of the price spectrum, I also love them with the REF3 & REF110 combination.
