Integrated for Green Mountain - Classe, Bel Canto

Opinions please! - I am looking for an integrated amp (used) for my Green Mountain Speakers, these are 4 ohm and pretty efficient - currently using an Arcam AVR-300. Price range is 1000 to 1400, used Amps I am considering:

Classe CAP-150
Bel Canto S300i
Arcam FMJ A32

I do need pre-outs for subwoofer and a remote but other than that no bells and whistles, just looking for excellent sound. By the way, my source is a Monarchy DAC24 tube/SS DAC and Cambridge Audio DVD player for video. No TT.

Please don't provide opinion if you are selling one of these amps!

thanks

Even though you've decided, Look into the Edge integrated. Roy strongly recommends these. Synergy.

Yes, Roy recommended I look at the Edge - I am just really on a budget as I am in the middle of a career change, in a couple of years, the whole kit is getting upgraded anyway!

I've had very good results using a Jolida 102b (factery mods) with my Europa Max's... I'm considering moving up line for a little more power and a remote perhaps the 302BRC.

Don't let Jolida's low entry pricve fool you. With the right tubes they sound far better than they should (for the money). That being said I've got a pretty good DAC in the mix as well.

Hopefully I'll beat you to the Callistos... ;)

Enjoy the tunes.
