Can you recommend an integrated amp 2K or less for Golden Ear Triton 2's?

Hi Everyone, 
A good friend of mine has Triton 2's, and has been using an AVR to feed them.  He reached out to me for recommendations for an integrated amp 2K or under to replace the AVR, which apparently stopped working.  I have been balls deep into the SET + horn-loaded world, so in good conscience I can't recommend something to pair with Triton 2's. I'm hoping to get some recommendations from those of you out there that better know the Triton, as experience matters IMO.  

Thanks in advance!

You want something warm.  Pass and Parasound would be among the choices I'd suggest.

triton 2 effieiency is 91db, that's good.

this is Cayin tube integrated, remote control, 48 wpc, EXTERNAL user bias with meter, use EL-34 tubes, or KT88's (I prefer the KT88's).

I have earlier version, it sounds fabulous. I'm 71 years old, I've heard/owned a few, love iT.
