It depends on how efficient but there are tons of integrated amps $7K or under that will do the job.
One option is KR. They are best known for their tubes, but they also make lovely amplifiers. The KR V880 Integrated is a 50w integrated with a SS, Class A input stage and a KT88 based output stage.
They make some darn nice amps.
If you have more efficient speakers and don’t need 50w you could look at a SET. Nothing from KR or Art Audio (I import both brands) is that inexpensive but Cary, Audion, line magnetic and I am sure dozens of others are available in a sub $7k price range.
