Tubes or S.S. for Thiel CS 2.4?


Hi all.....I was hoping you all could give your opinions about a seeking out a new amplifier for the Thiel CS 2.4s. I'm currently building a house which will have a dedicated library/listening room about 18 X 23 feet. It will have hardwood floors, but plenty of bookcases/furniture. I currently am using a Classe CA-100 in a smallish room, and they sound great. I don't listen very loud, but this will be a new, larger room and the one component I would like to move on to is a new amplifier.
My thoughts/questions were concerning power output of a lower wattage tube amp vs. a larger solid state amp. Ideas running around in my head were amps in the price ranges of the McIntosh MC 352/MC 401, Classe CA-300, etc etc while tube amps I've thought about inc. those like BAT VK 75se, McIntosh MC275 etc.. in those power/price ranges.

What do you all think? Tube or S.S. for these speakers?

Have run MC275 and MC602 with Thiel 2.3's. For Thiels the McIntosh solid state amps would be my pick.
