Spatial Audio speakers sound best with Solid state or tube amps. If so, which models?

Do you have Spatial Audio speakers in your system? Do you use solid state or tube amps to drive them, and if so what models sound best?

I'd say whatever amp you have make sure that amp can handle a 4 ohm or lower load. I was powering these M4s with a restored Accuphase E202 integrated and was getting all sorts of distortion at medium to high volumes. I then tried a pair of Response Audio BellaMax 60 monoblocks that use 6C33C tubes and have 4 ohm taps as well. These monoblocks make my Spatial Audio M4s sing nicely. IME the Spatial Audio M4 Turbos also play well with Red Dragon M1000 version 1 monoblocks too. Specs of the M4s. http://www.spatialaudio.us/hologram-m3-m4/

I didn't want to bother with the regular one at the time as I had the funds to get the Spatial Audio M4 Turbo S.
