Wilson Sophias and Jolida Integrated

I just purchased a pair of wilson Sophia I's. I am still trying to find good amplification for them. Right now they are being powered by a HK3490 which just doesn't do them justice at all. I listen to a lot of rock and electronic music. I am looking at integrated amps to pair up with them. I have never owned tubes but I have heard lots of good things about the Jolida stuff. Any recommendations would be welcome.

What's your budget? I would think those speakers deserve some $$$.

They appear to dip below 4ohms, you need a high current amp.

Jolidas often have a 4 ohm output tap.

budget right now is around $1000 but I am thinking about saving up for something a little higher end. The jolidas do appear to have 4 Ohm taps and there have been a lot of good write ups on the sophias with 40-60wpc tube setups with 4 ohm taps. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard them. Dave Wilson specifically said that the sophias were designed to work with modest amplification and I don't believe in spending a fortune on amps.
