Which amplifier should i buy

Hi,
Iv'e already asked , quite similar question , but i would like to clarify my question. So , Iv'e ordered a new speakers, Magico A3 and now i want to buy an amplifier, a tube amplifier. The amount of money that i can allow myself is up to 20,000$. The possibilities that i thought about are : zesto eror 300 / vtl MB -450 series ||| signature / vac phi 170 (two - i mean transform it monobloc) . Those are the options that i thought about till now. Does anyone can recommend which is the best option in this amount of money , it doesn't have to be from the option list that i mentioned.Unfortunately  there are brands that i can not buy in my country (ISR) , for example cat....
Thanks to anyone .

@haimr we're a Magico dealer and have tried a handful of tube amplifiers with the Magico S- and A- series speakers.

I know someone who is using the S1 MkII with a VTL ST-150 and is very happy with the combination. I've also tried the VTL S-200 Series II and Audio Research ST-80 SE, and they both worked well. I can also recommend the VAC Sigma 170 iQ and PrimaLuna Evo 400 power amplifier as both being able to drive the moderately difficult load presented by Magico speakers better than some other tube amplifiers.
