Normally I wouldn't recommend an SET amp for 84db speakers...but...if the impedance of your speaker is fairly flat, hopefully close to 8 ohm, and you don't play your music very loud, I used an Art Audio Carissa Signature (18 watt/845 tube) on my Magnepan 3.6's (83db) happily on occasion. With a volume control and only one input, it's the closest thing that I can think of.

fwiw, I use a pair of Cary 805AE SET monoblocks with the Maggies (50 or 70 watts depending on output tube) with great results but these are amps, not integrated. Just pointing out that it can be done.
