I'm on board with you. I recently had to ditch my $$$ 250 wpc separates, and get an old audiolab 8000 out of the attic -- 50 wpc, little brit integrated from the early 90's.
Unless I am really trying to crank some power music, that little integrated is actually more clear and detailed, a trait I value highly.
(btw, I have a good powered sub to go w/ my 1.2's. The maggies don't go below 40 hz or so)
Audio is a strange hobby lol. Sometimes unusual combinations click. I personally think, it comes down to simplicity. The Audiolab just has 2 pairs of amp transistors compared to 10 per channel in the old set up. I'm more than happy, unless I am really pushing the system which, let's face it, is maybe 5% of my listening time.
