Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000


Recently a friend asked me which tube amp he could get used for $1000, I replied that maybe for $2000 he could get something decent but honestly I have no idea what to answer. As a matter of fact I told him for a 1000 he might better get SS than tubes. I have Atmasphere MA-1s myself. 
Can anyone provide some constructive advice of decent tube amps with acceptable quality for $1k (or up to $2k) to drive Klipsch speakers, trying to find out the exact model, I think he has Cornwalls.
Thank you in advance.

Because many Klipsch speakers are so efficient, a single ended class A tube amp can do its thing without the need for much power...I use a Dennis Had SEP (12wpc relative to output tubes) with Heresy IIIs and it sounds magical, as well as real good. After years with a push-pull tube amp it's sort of eye opening to hear what well designed single ended amp can do.
Will Vincent offers great stuff, mostly heavily modified Dynaco ST 70 amps.  But he does offer one model with one input and a volume pot.  Highest quality components.
Cayin owners, A88T vs A100T? Can you roll kt120 150s on the cayin? The quicksilver seems to be better at this and @pepepizarro could have more fun rolling tubes as well
