Tube amp for these speakers

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Zu Druid, 101 db, 12 ohms. The former spec might mean just about any amp can drive them, and that seems to be true. I have a 2A3 that does a nice job except when asked to go loud in my large room.
I also use a Manley Stingray that, while it can go loud with most any music, leaves me wanting a bit for that SET sound, having tasted it with the 2A3. I do like the drive and 'sexiness' that the Manley exhibits, and my ideal amp would marry this with the holography, presence and transparency of a good SET. I do think the 5 ohm impedance of the Stingray may be out of sync with the Druid's 12 ohms in some way but am not experienced enough to pinpoint how. Is 845 the answer?
I would like to spend no more than $2K, lightly used or new.
