Recommended vintage amps.

Thanks to the many good postings here that got me into buying a few good vintage analog tuners and mini monitors on the recommended list.

Now I am considering any good vintage integrated amps to match my old Kenwood and NAD tuners. Currently I'm using a NAD 3020 and Sansui AU-217, which both are so worn out and looks like ready to retire. Or should I just get the newer (budget) integrated amps but are they sonically matching with vintage tuner and speakers? My speakers are Acoustic Energy Aegis 1, B&W DM302 and Paradigm Mini Monitors.

Thank You for looking.

You can usually get very good deals on Mac MA-5100 if 45wpc
is enough. There's also the Mac MA-6100 which has 70-80wpc
and is in higher demand. There's one of each currently for
sale here on the 'Gon for $500/$1000. I've seen better
prices for each. Both are awesome units. I'm using a vintage
Mac MAC-4100 receiver ('79) in my bedroom.
