I'm currently using a Sherwood SS S-9500c 20 watts rms per channel. 1st gen ss integrated from Sherwood and the smallest of the 3 from that period. It has sidelined my McIntosh and Philips systems and is the 1st amp that I can really enjoy my Klipsch Heresys with. Also, have a nice Sony TA-5055, much newer and though same power range whereas the Sherwood evokes totl quality, the Sony obviously is made to a lower end price point. Does not have as much power subjectively but sonically is quite nice and really enjoy it.
I have a pair of Yamaha CA-610IIs that look very impressive, meters, lots of controls, but, sonically lacking in comparison to the Sherwood and the Sony.

The Rambler in my avatar! My guess is that its around 10 watts per channel but I dont have any formal specs or info on this thing. Bass can get a little muddy but overall it is lovely to listen to. I have a Linear Design 169B waiting for 'the treatment' on my shelf which is 18Wpc, sounds very good, but definitely needs work.
My main system is 35wpc so dosent quite qualify.

I can attest to the Marantz 1060.
I personally like my yahama ca 610.
I also have a sansui au2900 which is of the right specs, but i find mine sounds quite ...lacking in low end.

I had a Yamaha CA-400 and a CA-410, both bought new and both very good. The CA-400 was unfortunately stolen about 6 months after I bought it. The CA-410 was the core of my (then) only system from my student days until just a decade ago. Both gone but fondly remembered.

I've had a Pioneer SA-510 for 20-some years now, and it still sounds sweet. I recently had to repair it after my daughter gave it a kick to the power switch, but it was just damage to the faceplate. I replaced it and a TX-710 tuner in the living room system with a SX-3800, and now I'm trying to fine a new place for it.

YAY!! somebody who might know something about it, I have searched for info for ages. Got any pics or info on the Sony? A pic of its guts would make it nice and easy to decide weather it is a re-badged Sony or not.

I still like my NAD 3120. Pretty much the same as the 3020 but no tone controls and no lights. I use it as a headphone amp mostly using a Stax SRX MK111 and my Grado 325i. Sounds great.

sorry.......what?
I have one of those Ramblers too, sounds nice, I have it in my office system, but its not as good as my favorite small intergrated I own, my Sansui AU-505. 20wpc and all class

Gotta add my :thmbsp: to this!
I have an NAD 3020A. It's a great little pre/power amp. Takes a licking, keeps on ticking. Always sounds musical. Didn't believe the extensive hype until I picked one up by chance a year ago.
