best inexpensive tube integrated

I just bought a pair of klipsch heresy speakers in mint condition for a bargin. Ive always wanted to experiment with tube amplification and I think now is the time. I know very little about them(tubes) and want to try them out at a minimum of expense. I paid 350 for the speakers and therefore would like to keep my budget below 700 for a tube integrated. I am not against used equipment. Is it worth a try or is my budget too low to jump into tubes? suggestions please!

I'd suggest looking at Melody amps if you can find them, I have the I34 or Astro 40 which would be too much but I don't know the price of the SP3 or SP9 over there.

My main point though would be to listen to a couple of tube amps. I listened and found that I preferred tube amps with EL34 tubes over KT88 tubes. You have to satisfy your own ears so have a listen and look for an amp with a sound you like.

Good Luck.
