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

Since the woofer towers were servoed, the amps had plenty of power and musicality. I would think the Convergent amps would also work very well. You might audition an OTL design, such as Atma-Sphere or Joule.

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
