What would be the best Stax amps to pair up with the MKII instead? SRM-727tII? 007tII?

The 007 Mk2 is more forward sounding then the Mk1 so it apears to be easier to driver but they really aren't. I've never tried the GES so I have no idea how it will fair but on paper it would struggle. The 12BZ7's aren't the output tubes so they won't make any difference here. You could have Woo upgrade the PSU and use something larger as output tubes but it looks like they are already going in that direction...
I didn't like either one of the new Stax TOTL amps so I would track down a 717.
