An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers

I am thinking about a small stereo system for my office and am looking at Zu bookshelf speakers. 
Since they are so efficient, I only need a small amp/integrated amp. What would you consider?
The Schiit Ragnarok looks promising at $1700. (I have the Bifrost DAC on my main system and love it).
I'll probably connect it to my PC and stream music.

No problem, just thought I would throw them out.  The 211 is at the same price as the Schitt you mentioned. (well I guess actually $50 more at $1750).

I would recommend something from decware. The zen triode integrated in particular. It's what I plan to get

Goldprintaudio, I was looking at the MSRP which said something like $2500  
Asianatorizzle, the decware always intrigued me, I need to do some more research...
Smrex, If I can get a used Dynamo, that would be another option.

Good recommendations provided. I believe that the new MK II version of the Coincident Dynamo would sound terrific with the efficient Zu. No doubt that the Line Magnetic would be an excellent choice as well. Either of these high quality tube amplifiers should sing with the Zu.
Charles,
