In need of assistance: integrated amp selection


Hi, this is my first post although I have been "lurking" on audiogon for a while. My question is pretty simple, your advice is appreciated.
If you had $1500 or less to spend on an integrated amp and a CD player what would you buy? I would definitely consider used, and I have an open mind to just about any brand.
I just purchased a pair of Green Mountain Audio Europas, and plan to use Signal Cable IC's and cables. My room is approx. 15X18. My listening tastes are varied. The Europas are known to be efficient, so loads of power probably isn't necessary, although I would like plenty of reserve.
If you can't really recommend a certain model, a list of brands that you hold in high regard in this price range would be very helpful also. Thanks very much, jb3

How about a Unison Research Unico hybrid integrated amp matched to a Linn, Arcam CD player, or maybe even a Sony SACD/CD player?
Thanks for the compiment Matty!

I'd definitely like to hear what you think of the Unico and how it compares to what you already own. I had a chance to hear the Unico powering Triangle Antals at this past CES in Vegas. Very lively!

I didn't realize the Music Hall CD25 was such a bargain. What kind of mods did Dan do for you? Should be a fun listening session for you for quite some time!
