Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers with tube or lower watt amps

If anyone has had experience with Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers — RAAL tweeter or not — I'm curious about your experience with

(a) tube amps and/or

(b) lower watt solid state Class A amps, such as the Pass XA-25.

Any details you'd care to relate are welcome, and thank you.

Lower watt SS amps noted, and some notable tube amps mentioned if you dig through it. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/looking-for-a-ss-integrated-amplifier-recommendation-going-into-a-new-s
