Vintage Integrated Amplifiers With Great Sound

yeah, I confuse it's age because it sounds vintage, like my 1956 Fisher 80az Mono Blocks which is exactly what I was hoping for when I took a chance on it.

It wouldn’t be cheap, even if you could find one, but I thoroughly enjoyed an Accuphase E-303x while I owned it. I did have it re-capped, but given its age, it sounded terrific.

I could budget up to $3500 for something really nice. 

I still don't know what loudspeakers you are driving but let me throw this out there. A Musical Fidelity integrated. They will match well with most loudspeakers and have a classic appearance. I would try to find one that is less than 20 years old to avoid a lot of potential problems. There is a really affordable 3.2 on sale right here. 

Yamaha went retro with their newer amps. This A-S1200 looks like a vintage amp and it also has power meters!!

I agree that Musical Fidelity would be a good choice. If you can find an A308, you’d be getting the cream of the vintage crop. Check out reviews.
