A little assistance please on a SS Integrated Amp

I am helping a friend put together her system and I have talked her into not only upgrading her speakers but upgrading her receiver to an Integrated amp. I am a tube guy but have owned an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 integrated which I had great results with but it is a little out of her price range.

She has a budget of about $700-$800 and will buy used on my recomendation here on Audiogon. She purchased a pair of JM Labs Chorus 707s today which are really a nice sounding speaker for their price point. They are 92dB so anything will drive them. I was maybe thinking of steering her to a hybrid? I would appreciate any suggestions.. Thanks in advance for your replies!

At that price point you may be able to find a used Unico Unison, which is actually a tube hybrid (uses a single tube). I've listened to one through Soliloquy 5.3's which are 90db and the combination was very satisfying. I'd bet they'd go nicely with the JM Labs. The challenge will be finding one at the high end of her budget.

Good luck.
