Tube amp to pair with Triangles?

Hello, I've owned a set of triangle zerius 202 for about a year now. I'm looking for a tube amp that will compliment it nicely, and take away some of that treble Triangles are known for. The listening room is small 12x14ft but has a bit of acoustic treatment. This would be my first tube amp and I need some guidance as to where to start. Music is mostly classic rock which I know the triangles aren't best for, but I am determined to find an amp that will make them work. Should I be looking at SET's too? The minimum impedance is 4ohms, nominal 8. I cannot find an impedance curve, my budget is around 1000-1500 used.

In your price range, the Prima Luna Prologue Two would do nicely ($1345 new). I have used this amp with high efficiency/single driver speakers (Omega Super 3) to conventional small monitors (NHT SB2) to large bookshelf/floorstanders (Acoustic Research 302) and the Prima Luna's makes the music sound textured, musical, and powerful. It was a real eye opener with the NHT's especially.

There have been close to a dozen magazine reviews in recent months on the Prima Luna.
