Need some suggestions on tube amplifier
Check out Quicksilver Midmono,they are a little over your budget at $1895 a pair but they are worth it! You can use many different tube types including EL34'S. Check out the site.

Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System
Solo guitar and light jazz,get yourself a pair of Harbeth P3 ESR'S. No speaker I have owned reproduces a guitar like them. And placement on these are a breeze! 
Speakers with their own amps
They are nice if you don't care about being locked into the amps that come with them!
