I think Vivid requires careful matching and may do well with some Tube Amps (albeit SET).

Vivids are far from harsh, and as On a Higher Note is the distributor for both Vivid and Luxman in the US, Philip O’Hanlon certainly knows the combo well.
I'm not sure why you found them so bright but I would be much quicker to blame the source or the room before either component.
Vivids are, if nothing else, ruthless disclosers of issues elsewhere in the chain.
