I have an NAD C340 amp which I like, although some of the other posts make it evident that this opinion is not universal. If you cannot afford to spend too much money, but want to get a reasonable-sounding amp and are willing to go for something older, you might try a Dynaco SCA-80 amp from the 1970s if you can find one used for a favorable price. It was a well-made and durable transistor amp with about 40 w/ch RMS, good sound, and clean styling.
