Tube amp for a somewhat difficult load

My speakers are Hales Concept Fives rated at 86db/w/m 6 ohm.
I am looking for tube amps that will give me the tube sound, or is this futile for a speaker of this nature and am I just wasting my money? These speakers need a minimum of 100 watts with solid state. My room is 24 X 16, and I listen to mostly classical music.

I would think the Audio Research models would be worth looking into. Also Sonic Frontiers. Neither of these makes give you "tube sound" in the sense of soft sounding, they are supposed to be 'accurate' not 'tubey'.
You could try the 'V-12' from Cary, switchable ultralinear/triode and offering a decent amount of power.
