Integrated Help

I'm looking into purchasing a new integrated amp. Right now I've got a Rotel 1062 with Infinity 3500 (4 ohm) speakers. Source is a VPI Scout/10x5 with EAR 834P. I listen to mostly rock--not classic, more punk, new wave, indie, etc.

I like the sound/idea of tubes, but I'm worried about warm up time. I usually only have an hour or two a day to listen to the stereo, so letting tubes warm up for an hour or something is not convenient. Or should I not be concerned about this?

Second, does anyone have any integrated recommendations in the $1500 range used?

I should also say that I don't plan on keeping these speakers forever, though they do sound great. I would hope to upgrade in the next year or so, but I'd like to do the amp first.

if you like rock and roll....i'm going to assume you like it played loud every once in a while...like myself,i like a room filled with music...had bought the creek 5350se off agon and found i had to turn it up way to much to get the desired effect of a room filled with music..after two days of this i put it back in the box and rehooked my yamaha receiver back up...which i don't care for...have since replaced ...
i would go for the MF as well...
good luck...sean
