There are some pretty good integrated tube amps out there, ARC and Bat, Pass Labs are a couple of them, do you already have a pre amp sitting around. Unless you really want to play with tubes, a good quality solid state also works well with those speakers, ideally something that is class A that are usually lower powered, a used Pass Labs XA 30 or XA 25 would run them really well but are fairly expensive and give off a fair amount of heat. Something like a McCormack DNA .5 would also be a good fit, older but really good sounding amp. If you end up underpowered the amp will likely have a hard time keeping the 15' woofer under control, that really depends what volume you intend to listen to them, if just background plug a transistor radio into them. The last set I listened to was about 30 years ago and were powered by a Adcom 555, at the time sounded really good to me, but think the DNA .5 would be better. Hopefully going into a large room.
