Look into Analog Engineering Associates. Ken Leonard is a master at restoring vintage Fisher, Scott, Sherwood or any other tube amp you can think of. 

I had purchased a Fisher X-100-B and traded it back for a Sherwood S-5000-II, since I needed a little more power. To date, 20+ years, the Sherwood is the best amp I have had in my system. 

Ken has a long legacy on the engineering side of the recording industry. Read the "Legacy" section of his site and you will get a serious understanding of who this guy is.

He has a number of his awesome sounding restored amps that will fit into your budget. Contact him by email or phone Ken is a great guy to chat with.

Second vote for a Marantz PM8005.  70 wpc into 8; 100 wpc into 4 Ohms so more than enough to get the job done with your JA RM22si's.  And it's built at the Marantz reference factory in Japan.  $1200 msrp so some smart shopping should land you a new one at a grand.

Smart speaker choice. I'd second Primaluna if you want tubes. Best, Rob

I have the RM25XLM2.

Had Bel Canto for a while, nice sound, went to Hegel, killer sound. Hegel matched really well with the JA speakers. Many used Hegel H70 and H80 for sale at good prices here.
