Recommendations for tube amp to replace Plinius

I am driving a pair of Legacy Focus speakers with a Plinius 100 mk3. The Focus speakers have an impedance of 4 okms and a sensitivity of 96db. As such the speakers may be a good match for a tube amp. Any recommendations for a tube amp in the $2500.00 used market range? The rest of my system consists of the Placette passive pre-amp and a Cary 306/200 cd.

I have owned the Plinius SA-100 and now the SA-102. I have tried a number of tube amps but have felt the lack of dynamics and impact is too much loss. Please look up my review of the SA-102 here at Audiogon, I use it with a Placette active pre-amp, Sony SCD-1 and Dunlavy IVa speakers and am extremely happy. Major improvement over the SA-100, much more liquid and naturual while keeping the dynamics.

Hi Wellfed, sorry I missed you last time you where in town.
