int-amp for Paradigm Studio-20s?

Just ordered Studio 20s and am researching a quality integrated amp for it. Budget is $800-1000. Should I look at tubes?
This is for 2.1 music only, living room ... classical, jazz, some rock, mixed ... not super loud.

Haven't had a tube amp before. Are they high maintenance?
Any good entry-level hybrids perhaps?

Thanks,
Rob

I have Studios 20 V5 and I am using Rogue Audio Perseus
Tube Preamp and Parasound SS Amp. Sound iz amazing.
There is no need for a subwoofer.

Well, My room is 17 x 11 x 9 and the sound is great, even
bass. I don't care about specifications, for me sound is
important.

Bob, you're right, the tonal balance of the tube-20 combo definitely shifted upwards. That was my experience.
