Tube Amp for Energy RC-10's

I'm looking for an integrated tube amp in the $750-$2,000 range that would sound good with Energy RC series speakers. I have been looking at Prima Luna, Jolida and Yarland. Rougue Cronus(sp?)is too big for my shelf.

Do any of these or others match up particularly well with my speakers?

I have first hand experience with the Jolida 502b (but not with your speakers). Very nice. I think it's 50 wpc. Great sound and very affordable too. On the low end of your price range.

Get a Rogue Cronus Magnum ...and a new shelf.

The Magnum is almost twice as powerful as the regular Cronus, with improved parts throughout.

I was told that Energy RC series speakers would be best matched with KT88 or similar tubes. They said that the EL34's would be too warm with the warmer RC's.
