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

I am on a tube kick as of late, just listened to a (used) Conrad-Johnson MV-55 tube amplifier yesterday and it was the best of anything the guy had in his store.

Very similar to that is Conrad-Johnson's CAV-50, integrated amp. At the least, I would have a listen to this wonderful sounding tube integrated amplifier - if you don't like it, nothing lost; if you do... welcome to Conrad-Johnson's wonderful world of tubes!
