@funhog You have nice speakers. Congratulations. I have owned Joseph Audio Perspectives and Pearl 3s. I ran the Perspectives with a NAD 375 BEE at first. Sounded good. I then bought a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 integrated amp to drive them. This pairing sounded very good. Then I bought the Jeff Rowland M925s--this is another league all together.
When I bought my Pearl 3s and ran them with the JRDG M925s it was a match made in heaven. (You can find other JRDG amps in your price range--the 625 S2 has lots of admirers.)
Your Pearls need a lot of power to sound their best. They can do tubes but they need to be higher powered tubes. The Doshi suggestion above is a solid one--I have heard the combination. One more would Zesto higher power tubed amps--very good with Joseph Audio.
