Well, being an owner of Audio Note (UK) equipment, I can certainly say that the quality is very high, but so is the price. The used price of their OTO and SORO integrated line-stage PP and SE amps falls within your price bracket (as do the power amp versions - P1 and P2 PP and SE).
I really like the OTO SE version (10W) and, to a lesser extent, the SORO PP (20W), and I would guess both would work fine with your type of music on your speakers.
If power is a concern you could also buy a new Rogue Cronus or Magnum integrated that lie in your price-range. The power amp version (Atlas) was my first tube amp, and I was pretty happy with it as a starter, once I started using the EH6CA7 and KT77 tubes. I think these amps now also take the heftier KT90 and KT120 tubes. Stereophile has reviews, one old and one new.
Otherwise, new, you are basically talking about Jolida, Cayin, PrimaLuna, and a bunch of other, lower quality Chinese amps. I've never heard an Antique Sound Labs amp.
