Help with a first tube amp Please

I am looking to buy an amp.I have never heard a tube amp but I keep reading all the rave.Right now I have a Mac1900,Sansui Tu and Au 7900 and a couple Luxman recievers, all powering speakers as Sansui SP 1200, H H Scott from 1964 and ADS and a pair of newly purchased Magnepan mg2 for 75.00, that was a deal. I have a budget of up to 1000.00 tops.I don't think I want a Ying Yang amp from Ebay and I can't buy a vintage MC 275 either.I wiould like to buy an integrated amp to start with.Well thanks for your help from Rochester,Mn.

Ahendler - What's the other half of the story?
They were very unhappy with Jolida so they got an XYZ and were very pleased?
They were very unhappy with Jolida and didn't find another tube amp in that price range?
I have owned 2 Jolidas and although not the best, I have always considered them good value, good amps, and something that will do very well for someone in Ridemypanhead's situation.
I can't comment on the brands Grinnell mentioned.
