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?

Jaybo-
Which Creek? I was thinking about a 5350SE, only because I used to own one and liked it, but not with horns. Is there a better choice?

I agree with the others above - tubes are definitely the way to go with Klipsch speakers. I've been using various 6BQ5/EL84 based amplifiers with my Klipsch Quartets and I couldn't come up with a bad combination. I think a JoLida JD-102B would be a nice combination with your Forte's.

NAD integrateds would likely be a nice match with your Klipsch's.
