Cheap class A intergrated power.....

Cheap is relative - but new inexpensive Jolida 1501 or used Acurus DIA 10. I have seen some GREAT deals on Ebay for Hafler 9505 which has gobs of power and I think a great sounding amp. You will have to add a preamp to the Hafler. Good luck.

oooops! meant Acurus DIA-100 - sorry.

This has always confused me. Some say class a as a marketing term and others use it to describe a function one step about class ab "push-pull" that generates what is not being drawn upon as heat.

Cheap is in the wallet of the beholder and I know you said integrated but I've heard Monarcy Audio's 70 model that is legit class a and a good buy at its price.

If you're talking separate pre/power, then the Monarchy or of course Pass labs Aleph series are a great choice. I use an Aleph 3 and it will have to be peeled from my grasp on my deathbed. Both are to be found at good prices in the used adverts

Hi phasecorrect,
I refered to your posts prior to purchasing my Europas, so would like to return the favor. I have recently replaced a solid state system with Dodd Audio preamp and 8watt stereo amp and its driving the GMAs beautifully. Gary Dodd makes a series of amps that have a built in voloume control so can function as an integrated. I highly recommend Gary and his products and particularly as a great match for the Europas.
My system (previously Morrison ELAD to Pass Labs Aleph 3) which was too bright and grainy when fed by a Mac computer for source via a USB to RCA interface, is now so listenable, enjoyable, even without a DAC (scott Nixon tubedac). when DAC is inline I dont miss my Jolida CDP, or solid state equipment at all. Whats more the typical criticism of tube amps (and the reason I have shyed away) ie the lack of extension in the lows and highs, DOES NOT APPLY here. I have better, deeper, more controlled bass and better, more enjoyable highs with the Dodd 8wpc stereo amp than I ever did with the 30wpc aleph.
take care
