Inexpensive integrated to drive Klipsch


I'm looking for an integrated amp to use with a pair of Klipsch Forte's that I recently purchased. Prefer to have a remote, price range is about $600-$800 used. Should I go tube or SS?

Possible candidates:

Creek
Jolida
Musical Fidelity
Rega
Linn
Cayin

Recommendations? What else should I consider?

With those speakers, I would go with tubes all the way. A Jolida or Consonance tube amp would be a great match. The Consonance M100 Plus is incredible for the money - a bit better than the Jolida 202 IMO. Cayin T30 would also be a good bet although I actually haven't heard that one.

The only SS integrated I would recommend with those speakers would be the Rega Brio or Mira. But tubes will get you more performance for the same cost, in my experience.
