Best value in integrated amps at a moderate price?

I am looking at purchasing an integrated amp. I am looking for a good deal/value. I would like a powerful amp - but I do not think I can get enough power in an integrated on a budget if you will. I have not decided on speakers yet. Can I get a couple of suggestions on a few products?

PhilNYC,

Again, it depends on the speakers he will be pairing it up with. I would personally take 50-70 BC, YBA, SIM watts over 100-150 Rega, Parasound, etc.

Baroque_lover,

Yep, no doubt which speakers he chooses will have an impact on the amp he chooses. But I do think that the Blue Circle NSCS is a significantly better integrated than the CS...
