NAD and Cambridge Audio have integrated amps that start in the $300.00 range, give or take.
A friend of mine bought a Chinese tube amp for $150.00 that was surprisingly decent. There was no remote and I believe only one input.
I haven't seen them in a while but the little T amps were like $150.00 when they first came out. There's also other budget Class D stuff around, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
The Parasound HCA line is out there although I haven't seen pricing in ages.
I just don't thing there's much of a market anymore for budget 2-channel, people are going to, built in in DAC's, and other features, The Swiss knife approach to audio. Onkyo, Cambridge and Yamaha, maybe others, offer stereo receivers. I think NAD does as well.
It would be nice for the next Adcom 535 to hit though. Speaking of Adcom, that stuff is a steal on the used market for what you get.
