Looking to get into tubes?

I am sure this has been covered before but I would like to get very current opinions. After being in this hobby since the early 60's am finally thinking seriously about trying tubes for the first time. An integrated is what I am thinking of. Very cheap or used. Models that have caught my attention:
Onix, Dared, Many good looking offerings on that big auction site, Tec.On....?
I would like something easy to use, set up etc., since this will be my first one. What are all of your suggestions? Thanks P.S. I have efficent speakers

Soulbrass, nailed it in your price range. The Cayin A-50T (with EL 34 tubes) is, imo, a very nice sounding integrated amplifier that sells new for $1400 and you should be able to find a used unit within your price range. These are well built and reliable. For your room, speakers and application, this amp will have sufficient power.
