Integrated amp recommendations

[Geoffcin]

I need a cheap ($300ish) integrated that will mate well with Mission 780 Argonauts. They are 4 ohm speaks that dip to <3 ohms so the amp will need to be rated for this. They are rated at 95db's and most listening will be at low-moderate levels as it's for my office. 50 watts (or even less) should be more than enough. I need a warmer sounding ss integrated that's good at low listening levels as the speakers can have an agressive top end if not matched right. New or used, do you have any suggestions? The 4 ohm gig has kind of got me stuck.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I don't think your stuck at all. I kinda envy you a bit. with 95db speakers you should be able to use just about any low powered amp you choose.

My advise is to "Go vintage!"

There's my old Pioneer SX-1250 on ebay right now. Price is still good too. I managed to blow one of these up, but that was in my fuse melting days of rock & mayhem.

Here's a slick looking Sasui intergrated

Or you could go the other way with a low powered tube set. Most have 4 ohm taps.
