Good Amp with totem model 1s?

I am starting a system with some model 1's but I cannot seem to find an amp that I like that is in my price range. I am willing to spend around $1200 if i have to but i rather it around 1000. I do not know alot about tubes but i am open to them, if it has enough to push the totems.

The Model 1s are well established speakers and a quick google turned up reviews by Stereophile and Soundstage (I'm sure there are more). Both reviewers seemed to like the tube pairings.

Like Eslaudio and M297904, I too liked the Model 1s with McCormack amps, but that was a long time ago - before tubes touched my musical soul.

Macd, You've probably noticed the Consonance closeouts in the classifieds, but in case you haven't, that Reference 880 looks kind of sweet to me. I do realize it's over budget and some lousy endorsement, but it's all I got - FWIW.
