Reliable tube integrated for $1000

I'm very comfortable with my selections in SS integrated amps (Naim, Creek, Rega, Exposure)but not too familiar with the tube gig.

I need 1 or 2 inputs, great reliability, self bias, no remote. Ideas?

I have efficient single-driver hemps for this "experiment".

If your single driver hemps are Omega loudspeakers, they pair very well with the Prima Lunas Prologues 1 &2. Omegas are fussy with solid state amps.

I love my Primaluna PL2, low maintainance, great sound, plenty of power.

The Audio Space AS-3i. It may be a little over your limit but not much. It's a very good-sounding EL34 integrated with 3 inputs, user-selectable feedback and front panel triode/ultralinear switch. Easy to bias too; and looks cute.
