Vintage audio gear is fantastic from my (limited) personal experience. I believe that "they" do not make such type of audio gear anymore. One DOES have to be careful with which speakers one connects to the amps 'cuz most of the integrated amps cannot drive very hard loads (I suppose that hard load speakers were NOT the norm in the 1970s, 1980s).
Buy whatever suits your fancy or/& your budget &/or your nostalgia. There are some excellent brands out there (besides the Scott that you favour) - Marantz, Yamaha, Pioneer, Accuphase, Kenwood, Sansui, Rotel, Sony.....
Yes, Audiogon used to have a Vintage audio forum but it looks like they did not get much enthusiasm for it??
Some good places for info is www.thevintageknob.com & www.classicaudio.com. Also, like someone already wrote, there are several people discussing vimtage audio on www.audiokarma.org.
