Single-ended integrated amp for $1k or under?

Hi,

I'm looking for a SET integrated amp for $1000 or under, to drive a pair of Silverline Sonatinas. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Audion does not have a lot of coverage here in the US, but I listened to one at a local dealer here in Sacramento, and was astounded by the drive and clarity of that amp. The ad lists that amp at $1700, and they retail for $3800. You get 7 watts of blissful, SET sound. If you aim for an integrated, $1000 will get you little return in the SET realm, in my opinion.
