WTB: Inexpensive Integrated

I'm on the lookout for an inexpensive integrated to drive a pair if very efficient speakers.
Things I must have:
1 - The speakers are a bit on the bright side, so something with a warmer sound is what I'm looking for.
2 - Needs to be somewhat clean. Also, no offense against the gear from the 70s or 80s, but I'd like something that is somewhat current and living room presentable - the cimpler and cleaner the look the better.
3 - Want to spend as little as possible, I'd say $300 would be my max at the moment.
Here's what I can give on:
1 - It doesn't really need to be a true integrated with source switching, an amp with a volume know (like that Sonic T amp) would work fine.
2 - I don't need much power, these speakers are highly efficient so just a few watts should do the trick
3 - I don't need a remote
4 - I prefer tubes, but ss will work.
Guys I know $300 isn't alot to play with, that's why I'm willing to compromise on some things. I know this is doable though. There are several options like the Cambridge 340C and Jolida 1301A that are just outside of my price range new, so I figured if someone here has one laying around I'd like to grab one on the used market, would like to try my luck here before hitting eBay or Audiogon.
Thanks

Heres another one. You might try and and get him down. I think $350.00 shipped would be a steal if he would do it. I don't know if you watch this stuff like I do or not so I am just throwing it out there. I don't think you could ask for much more at that price. It also wouldn't be a hybrid. Just a thought. I have heard great things about the EL84 tube.
Edit: It probably won't last long. I watch these things on the Gon daily and they go quick at that price. I would give it another day or two at the most before its sold.
