Short answer: No flea-powered tube amps with an 87 dB speaker. But the nominal Z at 8 Ohms and the first-order Xover are in your favor. A 300B SE amp might work, so long as you don't expect it to play very loud and you feed it simple (as opposed to complex) music. Since they are bi-wireable, have you thought of bi-amping? Or more robust tubes (say, ARC VT-100 Mk II)? But if you liked the Cary/Joseph combo enough to "fall in love", why not go that way?If it's the "SET experience" you want, better start thinking in terms of speaker/amp as one entity. In the FAQ section, there's a post from Paul Joppa the gives a sort of "rule of thumb" approach to speaker sensitivity required for different triodes. If you really want triodes, learn to like horns.
