Budget Tube Amp (newbie)

I'm new to tube amps. I need some advice as to a good budget tube amp with good bass that will push my large Advent speakers. Please keep in mind that I don't know anything about tube amps and don't want to pull the trigger until I can get some advice. I'm new to the Forum. Many thanks from an old guy.
Best regards,
Rob

My budget on the tube amp is around 1k for starters. Next question being:  Will I need a pre-amp as well? Thanks, again for all the info!

An integrated amp does not require a separate preamp as it incorporates one.

There's a Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated on the classifieds right now listed for $1175.  You could make an offer.  With 100 watts this will have zero issues giving you enough power.  No affiliation.

+1 on the Rogue Magnus... very fluid sounding... good value.. Made in the USA... I’ve only heard the v 2 but I imagine the sound profile is similar... I’d snap it up and buy some new tubes and you’re set!!
