Solid State Low powered Amplifiers

Vista Spark.  An A/B integrated amp putting out about 20wpc.  Sounds great at low to moderate spl’s, and less than $500.

Rega has several that would likely work well

also the  Musical Fidelity A1

Another vote for the amp camp amp. It's amazing sounding.

I have the VMV A1 on the way but it’ll be too hot for my fully dry walled converted one car garage Mancave, which has limited venting at the end of the AC flow. Perfect room acoustics with floating wood floor, plenty of acoustic panels and bass trap reduction. 7’ listening triangle, close listening, Schitt idea may be better than my NAD C136BEE at 40 WPC. Thank you. Great discussion.
