Their two most recent models made 100wpc and 135wpc and can be upgraded with an internal phono-stage and/or a DAC.
For a tube/SS integrated, I was very fond of my BAT VK-300xSE which makes 150wpc. Can be fitted with a very nice internal phono-stage. Again, a used one should fit into your budget and, like most high-end gear, very well made.

I don't mean to post too many times, but a quick followup. I'm seeing the used VK-300xSE for over $4000 (US), while the VK-300x I see for a bit over $2000. What's the difference?
