If you can find one, a used Audiopax Stereo 88 is ideal and a synergistic match to the Avantgardes. I've seen Stereo 88s used on Audiogon for $3500 - $4000. 15/15 watts per channel using a KT88 each side in an innovative circuit that models triode behavior from a commodity tube. You need a preamp or source with robust gain to drive it.
The deHavilland 845s are good amps and should be quiet enough for you. Sound is quite tunable depending on which 845 tube you choose to use. The Audion PX25 amp is exceptional, with the Art Audio PX25 close behind and recommended.
