tube integrated for Harbeth under $2500

I am thinking about a foray into tube amplification; never been there before. I will be driving a pair of Harbeth Compact 7es3. I listen to classical, jazz, acoustic, and rock- 80% cd, 20% vinyl. I would like to keep the cost at $2500 or under.
Specific reasons for your suggestions based on what you have heard will be helpful.
Thanks

I used a Vac Avatar Super on HL5's and they were absolutely excellent together.

I highly recommend Mastersound amps (hand built in Italy).
Several are available in your price range. I use the 300BSE with the SHL5 and really enjoy the combo. Dale, at Eugene Hi-Fi carries both Harbeth and Mastersound. Could be a good source.

Technically not tubes, but you might consider a Pathos Classic. Basically, a hybrid piece. Or, the Unico gear.

I have to agree with Early. Mastersound amplifiers are amazing, and a stunning combo with Harbeth. Call Dale at Eugene Hifi. He is the best!
