I'd like to get an amp in the $150 - 200 range. But it seems like in this day and age, separate amps and tuners are found only among the pricey components. Some time ago, I recall reading on the net that people liked a brand called NAD. I've never seen that at stereo stores. One lead I have -- DAK has a Kenwood KA80 integrated amp w/ 48 watts RMS into 8 ohms for $179. Any comments on the above Kenwood? Leads on NAD? Other suggestions?
