I use tubes almost all the time, but for stats, I think you need much more instantaneous amperage. Thus you might want to look at "Sanders Sound Systems" which makes amps directly geared for ESLs. I would check them out and he is exactly in your price range. I would also investigate the highly regarded "Wyred 4 Sound" amps which are said to be a little warm and as good as many tube amps. Not sure any SS amp really images as well as good as good tube amps do, but Six Moons thought they did.
