As mentioned Parasound and also Odyssey Audio come to mind as reasonable options that are on the warmer side of the spectrum. Add a tube preamp. For new you could look at a standard Odyssey Stratos for $1,400 or a used Parasound A21 for probably around the same price if you are patient. Always a few for sale so they may be negotiable.
Add a new Schiit Saga+ tube preamp for $400 and you are rockin or spend a few hundred more for a Schiit Freya. I have to confess I have not personally heard any Schiits but I am considering ordering the Freya +. They seem to get rave reviews at their price points.
As others mentioned an integrated would be a good option as well.
Agreed in your price range probably not going get full tube amp that is going to do any justice to Maggie type speaker.
