Integrated amp for 2500-3000


I have a vintage set of  Cerwin Vega Dx7 and  parasound DAC. I'm looking for an integrated amp, or integrated tube amp. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

How about a little more information. 

Are you willing to purchase used or want a new integrated?

Do you know the impedance of these speakers, size of room and loudness levels you listen at? This needed for power requirements. In general I wouldn't use a tube amplifier for a low impedance speaker.

Likely a solid state amp or one having a tube preamp would be the best bet. 

@alnubis  I believe your speakers would work better with SS amplification. The Vincent SV237MKII has that coupled with a tube based preamp stage. Vincent integrateds are know to provide a smooth presentation, with even tonal balance,  and good soundstaging. I once owned one, the SV226MK, which I enjoyed. They represent great sound for the money and I believe would mate well with your speakers. New their cost is a little over your budget, however the one mentioned  by @hasmarto and sold by Upscale is not too far off.
