Cool running amplifier

I'm looking for an amplifier to drive Totem Sttafs in my main great room. It will be housed inside a cabinet - ample air around it and ventilation from the back, but since I want to leave it on 24/7 I want one that idles cool.

budget is <$700 for a used power amp or integrated. I have in mind a musical fidelity a3.x, or ps audio hca. Do these fit the bill? Any others that I should look for?  

Thanks!

Look at Odyssey Audio amps. The run cool with plenty of power.

Ayre v5xe. Idles at 100 W. Can be put into standby and idles at 18 W but keeps all critical components warm. Even has a 12 V trigger. Typically found used at $2500 or less.  Whoops… Missed your budgetary constraint.
