First, what model loudspeakers do you have. Second, tube amps are more costly than solid state. Your budget really isn't enough for an amp driving Magnepans.
Suggestions for medium priced Power amp and Pre-Amp Combo's
I have a pair of very good Magna plane type speakers and would like to build a system to power them. I have always wamted an amp/pre-amp set-up, probably tube, but that is where I want your help. I love Jazz and want to hear the instruments. I want clean sound. But I would like to keep the combo under $2K if possible, but more importantly, reach that quality level that maximizes sound quality without getting ridiculous on price. Like buying a low end BMW, still getting the performance, but not at huge cost. My listening space is very bright acoustically. Thank you!
