I'm Mike.
Wow, thanks for all the recommendations, I've actually been offered an Ear Yoshino 8L6 integrated, and I do know that Tom said this would be a great match.
Seriously tempted just to go for it even though I've never heard one.
I'd still be keen to try the Luxman and I'd be lying if it wasn't just for the sound
The valve amps mentioned look the business too, in fact I'm listening to Grants old WAD EL84 Power Amp with his Promitheus Pre Amp right now as I type and that sounds pretty good, I ended up browsing the World Audio Designs website last night looking at the KT88 XL integrated amp which looks very good on the reviews I found.
Arghhh decisions decisions
I would go for the EAR, you won't be disappointed. Perfect match for the big Tannoys.Wow, thanks for all the recommendations, I've actually been offered an Ear Yoshino 8L6 integrated, and I do know that Tom said this would be a great match.

The WD KT88 would be a good choice Mike. I’d build it for you no problem.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I borrowed one for a bit a few years back. I don't think the WAD KT88 is as good a KT88 amp (in the grand scheme of things) as the WAD EL84 is an EL 84 amp (if you get my drift). The EAR uses the same circuit as all the big Tim de Paravicini amps, the main difference between them is features (balanced connections etc) and a fancy faceplate.

Mike, still think the best bang for your buck would be to ask Nick to build you something.

It's hard to argue with that. Nick is the man to turn to in these situations. Such a nice guy too.
