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.

I have used 2 tube amps with my 97.5 db Klipsch Quartets. A 10 wpc Vista Audio i84 El 84 PP amp very nice sound not problem driving htem and now a Grommes PHI26 1.75/6 WPC TRIODE/PENTODE amp. 1.75 watts drives it well.

The vista Audio amp was about 400.00. I think you could find a nice EL84 amp that would make them sing
