Amp recommendation for Klipsch Heresy


A friend of mine just purchased some circa 1980 heresy's. I am trying to help him build out the rest of his system. What do you guys recommend for an amplifier? He would prefer something of 70's to 80's manufacture and we have a budget of around $400 dollars. I have never listened to any vintage klipsch. Do they do better with tubes or solid state? With his budget, I would assume tubes are out. Do any of you own heresy's? What are you using to drive them? Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will add luxman to the list. It looks like a nice unit. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot guys. I am trying to talk him into tubes. It is just hard to find decent tube gear on his budget. Tube gear is bringing a big premium over SS everywhere we look. I would need a preamp and a tube power amp or a tube integrated. It is hard to make money stretch that far. Might have to save for awhile. The search continues....
