And if the efficiency is correctly stated (98 db 1 watt at 1 meter), these bad boyz will play damn loud with a 25 watts/channel tube amp. I shudder to think what they'd do with a 500 watts/ch. sand amp....

I think they'd be a good buy for the OP if he could get them for his budget price, I have to disagree about using them with a modest tube amp though, three large woofers per side are not going to get the current they need for good bass definition.
A solid state amp(s) that can double its 8 ohm power into 4 ohms would be awesome with these speakers if one doesn't mind listening to solid state amps.
VTL offers a 'system matching' guide that helps those who want great bass from tubes.

Question: would my amps be able to power these:Sony TA-55ES?
Keep in mind that these speakers will provide 98 db SPL with only 1 watt input. Every doubling of power will net you an additional 3 db of SPL.Watts SPL (db)

... that you would want to keep it below a watt to preserve your hearing ...

Yep, for all but unsafe listening levels, you'd be good to go.
