You could find a Fisher receiver that has been updated for well within your budget. Very good sound and an excellent value.
Integrated Tube Amp for Spendor SP7/1 $1000
Planning to move my Spendor SP7/1 (Sensitivity 88dB, FR 60 Hz to 20kHz, 8 ohms) to a smaller room (13'x13) and looking to find a Tube Integrated Amp to drive them. The SP7/1 seem very easy to drive so something with an output at least 15W should be fine.
This is my first foray to tubes and budget is around $750 used. There are so many integrateds on eBay from China and suspect some are very good. Other than Jolida, any experienced based suggestions? Cayin, Prima Luna, Icon, etc.? Musical tastes strongly towards jazz (female) vocals and 70s rock (Steely Dan).
