budget system, amp needed

I am putting together a budget bedroom system and I need an amp. I have $1500 total to spend so I am on quite a tight budget. I will be using Axiom m3ti speakers which are rated at 93db/watt and an Ah Tjoeb 99 cd player which I picked up on Agon for $350. So I am left with about $800 for an amp and cables. I am a tube guy so a tube amp is a must. Some of my options are
1. ASL wave 8 (needs a pre-amp)
2. Jolida 102b
3. Sophia Baby
4. Almarro 205a
5. Bottlehead Paramour/foreplay combo
6. DIY Joplin
7. Gabes SE 6l6 amp
I am leaning heavely towards either the Jolida or the Sophia Baby. Both put out enough power to play pretty loud in my bedroom, both use inexpensive tubes and neither needs a preamp. Anyone have any other ideas? I think I will have a pretty good little bedroom system for very little money.
thanks
