Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000

Recently a friend asked me which tube amp he could get used for $1000, I replied that maybe for $2000 he could get something decent but honestly I have no idea what to answer. As a matter of fact I told him for a 1000 he might better get SS than tubes. I have Atmasphere MA-1s myself. 
Can anyone provide some constructive advice of decent tube amps with acceptable quality for $1k (or up to $2k) to drive Klipsch speakers, trying to find out the exact model, I think he has Cornwalls.
Thank you in advance.

Towards the upper end of your friends budget but it is new, self biasing and able to roll from stock KT88 to 6550 or EL-34.  
Great sounding amp that is pure simplicity for tube loving folks that don't want to fiddle with biasing.  Powerful enough for many speakers out there and more than plenty for heritage Klipsch.
