What amp for the Revel M20


I am looking for a integrated amp for the Revel M20. I try to stay with the tube amp. I am think about card SLI-80 or the unison s8. I heard the Revel need a lot of power to perform their best. Will the S8 which is only 24w (however, class a rated) be enough? Will any body have experience on these? I am open to any other suggestion. Thanks.
BTW, this will be for the bedroom. And the source is Sony 999ES.
Thanks again.

I have just brought some M20's which have replaced the excellent, but flawed Triangle Celius (despite 91db sens. drop to 2ohms in the key upper mid band, so need juice!).
However, my CJ MV60(55W) is not really man enough for the M20's, so I brought a Carver(250W) pre/pow combo from the very excellent Underwood HiFi, at a close out price and it performs with the 20's extremely well. I am keeping the CJ to drive a pair of rebuilt Quad Esl 57's, as it has a 16 ohm tap.
Anyway to cut a long story short, I agree with warrenh, they need a lot of juice! at least a 100W.
Happy listing!
