Round 2: Tubes amps, no ss discussion

Thanks for all the input on the first round. Let's look at Manley vs. Consonance vs. your choice. Here are the criteria. Running 85db mini monitors with passive woofer system that just image out of this world. They are clean, natural, accurate and musical. I have a CJ MV 60 and am potentially seeking a slightly more dynamic and aggressive sound without giving up anything that the CJ offers. Price - up to 4K. If there is a SS amp that you think fits the bill, please mention it. Or, is a tube transplant a solution?

Cellorover,
I see that your minis are 85db and I believe the MV60 is 55wpc. I am considering getting an MV60 myself and matching it with Vandersteen 2Ce at 86db, but I have been wondering if the MV60 can successfully drive a speaker with that low of sensitivity. How is the MV60 at driving your 85db monitors? How much do you crank on it for good listening levels?
