It is possible to use a medium power (50-60 watt) tube amp if you have a set of powered subwoofers taking over at 80-100hz.
For running the magnestand MMG full range with tubes you need 4 X KT120 per channel like a rogue M180. which is 5X your budget new, 2-3 X used
So the more appropriate choice is a hybrid like the Monarchy linear hybrid amp or the Rogue hybrid integrated like the Sphinx or Pharaoh (the latter having enough power to drive the MMG to its limits).
Follow Ups:
If you want the powered subs to carry the low end when using a tube amp,do you need to filter out the low frequencies going to the Maggie's?
The filter can be as simple and cheap as a single cap or a cap and resistor you can put at the input to the tube amp
Or slightly more complicated by using something like a MiniDSP.
Too much is never enough
