GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?


I am in the process of evaluating the Europas with a 45 Watt tube amp and a pair of solid state monos. After preliminary comparisons, I can see strengths of both approaches. I am wondering what other GMA owners are using to power their speakers.

Great thread! I was just about to open it up myself. I have had my Europas for almost a year now and I have decided to take the upgrade path suggested by Roy. That would be because I am in Hi Fi Nowhereland here.
I have gone with Audio magic IC's and they were a big step up from Signal cable. Then, last April 15th I overspent (oops, darn!) and picked up a Birdland Odeon Ag W/upgrade. Finally we get to my amp-----still the Nad C370. However now I run on the main only by using the Birdland's volume control. Big, big difference! I switched back to the pre-in and it sounded wooden and woolen. Could't take it for a minute---no way.
Anyway, I think Stingray and Mccormack Gold rev A--just don't know yet. For now, the Nad main amp is okay.
Hope we get more responses. That would help.
