I just bought a AMC CVT 2030 EL84 here for $250, could not find any bad reviews about it. They can be had @ $429 from retrodazeaudio.com .
Look for a Dynaco ST70 with some mods or used in good condition. I can't think of a better introduction to tubes for the money.
You might be able to find an ARC classic 30 near that price or $700ish. I enjoyed having that amp for years and played fairly loudly with Pro Ac response 2s.

I haven't trusted AMC since they came out with the Gremlin. [Old F**t's joke]
