having been WAY down the integrated amp path, in both solid state and tubes, I have to cast my vote for the Marantz 1200. It has balls, class, is affordable, easy to restore, built like a tank and looks great.
But this is squarly in the affordable "regular guy" vintage class. I'm sure if you were a rich kid in the seventies you had more options avalable. But again, I always felt a large part of this hobby was finally getting that stuff you couldn't afford when you were young. And I'm not talking about the $10k Linn setups in the back room.
But there are many great integrated amps to chose from. It really does depend on "your" taste.
Also a big part of appreciating these amps now is having them restored properly. They are clearly at that point now. So comparing them now really isn't a realistic means of judging them.
