Which Tube Amps To Use With Genesis Speakers?

I am considering a pair of Genesis 500's or 501's. Which tube amps would offer a good match?

thanks

I use the G200's and the 100 Watt VAC monoblocks I use are not enough. You need at least 200 watts to start with. Thus , a 350 Watt McIntosh would fit the bill nicely. I'm selling my VAC's Interested anyone VAC High Powered Monoblocks MKIII and VAC Vintage Line MKIII Jag

After going through several different amplifiers, including Tube and Solid State designs, I have found the Manley amps to be the best in my experience with these speakers. The Manleys offer selectable triode or tetrode modes. Most of my listening is with the 100W triode mode but some large scale music (big band or orchestral) needs the full 250W treatment in tetrode mode.
