Integrated or CAL CL15+amp? in 1300$ used range


I've been looking in the 1300$ used price range for an amp or integrated amp to run with a CAL CL15 cd player and a set of Taylor Reference Monitors or possibly even the Linbrooks.
I've been considering the following integrateds:
VAC Avatar
Cary SLI80
Sim i5
Plinius 8200
Audio Research CA50
Classe CAP150

but before I make the purchase I just wanna see if anyone thinks it might be better to just go cdplayer directly to the amp? Any thoughts? and any suggestions on the integrateds I've chosen (or amps that you might suggest!)

Kakuju, thanks for the input! you said I need to check the impedence of the power amp....what would I check it for? does the number have to be above or below a certain number? what would I be looking for? thanks!
