Budget integrated amp needed

I have a little bedroom system - NAD receiver, Pioneer SP-BS21 speakers and a Bluesound Node. It fits my bedroom music needs perfectly! Unfortunately, the NAD, from the mid 90’s, has had it- 

I am looking for a replacement integrated. I don’t need Bluetooth DAC or AirPlay- just a straight forward integrated and low power is fine. 
 

Suggestions please! Ideally budget is about $300- give or take and I’m not adverse to used 

 

thanks!

I picked up a used Yamaha A-S301 integrated for my office for$301. It's a great amplifier. Look into the reviews. It might suit your needs.

What Hi-Fi:
The three-time Award-winning Onkyo A-9010 is excellent value and one of the most musically satisfying budget amplifiers we've heard in recent years

So I bought it and it is incredible

Yamaha A - S301 is an easy recommendation.

Perhaps an old silverface receiver would work for you. Some sound very nice for pennies on the dollar.

A friend of mine paid $150+shipping for a NAD C 326BEE integrated last year, to be used for a similar application.  It's 50w/channel, but if you need more, I'm sure there's a NAD to suit.

I have a lot of respect for PS Audio as well, but you probably won't have the range of price choices you will with NAD.  You're pretty safe either way.
