I am very out of touch with the current market offerings
for budget stereo amplifiers and i wonder if anyone can
advise me.

I currently use a Cambridge audio 640A but am not very
impressed with it. The buttons are wearing out (not
always responding when pressed) and one channel has died
(producing very loud white noise continuously).

The system is in my office. It is a small room and the
speakers (KEF Concertos from 1970) are about 4 feet from
my ears so that I have the volume very low usually. I
mostly listen to Radio-3 on DAB. I'd prefer to use FM
but I am not allowed to put up a good aerial here. I
also listen to CDs.

I do not need a remote control.
25 Watts would be enough.
I do not need a preamp for a turntable.
I need tone controls.
I would like to spend up to about £200

The Marantz MM4400 seems to be a possibility at £99
(Richer Sounds). Any comments on that?

Last time I wanted a stereo integrated amp, I ended up with a Sherwood RX
410S receiver.

Last time I wanted a stereo power amp, I ended up with a Behringer A500.
