You could actually do a lot worse than a second hand Rotel RA-820 from
ebay.  I've got one here and it's not bad at all.  I think the A and
the B versions are better still, but Robin probably knows more about
that than I do.

The RA820A is OK, but flawed in it's standard form. I had to bypass some of the tone control circuitry properly to get it to sound good, but I must say the work has been particularly rewarding. Also, the RA820 series is a little under-powered, IMHO. I get a lot better dynamics using an RB850 for the bottom-end (bi-amped, with the RA820A powering the HF driver).
