Low cost Amp?

Big difference in asking question if you say what speakers you have,what the sensitivity is,ohm load (all easy to look up) and how large your room is.Tubes are great and rule of thumb is you can double power rating versus a solid state.Muisc only or latter HT?Need to fill in blanks.But you have some good tips for a used unit for an 6-8 ohm 97-89db sens or better (limits speaker options but more sens opens up to lower cost to quality).Parasound,NAD,Adcom,Rotel is all on same plane but you could get a nice Creek integrated or Parasound and step up in quality.

You can have some fun with high end sound with a hybrid (tubes in pre section and SS in amp section).Jolida again would allow you to get warmth and tone out of pre tube section of hybrid integrated and get a 70 or 100 wpc model.

As for speakers I am using the (url=http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=35_37&products_id=367)Eton 8.1(/url) I had someone build the cabinets for me and I upgraded the caps, internal wire and binding posts. These speakers sound amazing! Thanks for all the input and if the speakers change your opinion, I look forward to reading more.

Mccormack DNA-0.5

A deluxe version just sold for $550.

I have read about the Mccormack. Sounds like a great amp. Any experience with them?
