You will still need a lot of power as the panels drop to 1ohm as it approached 14khz and onwards to 20khz or so. I would recommend something that can double down and is stable to atleast 2ohms.
However, since the bass is powered, you can get away with tubes powering the panels... something Class A that is built solidly to take the pummeling as the FR moves up should be a good choice.
As for me, I used to have the Vantages and I had them powered with ONLY a Rotel RB1070 amp (130w at 8ohm)... and although it wasn't the best sound by a good margin, it still allowed me to enjoy the music. I then moved up to the Rotel RB1090 and now am currently using a Plinius SA102 Class A SS amplifier.
Though I no longer have the Vantages (now, with Summits).
