Monster Technics SU-G90 130 WPC Integrated Amp – Made in Japan
130 watts a channel into 8 ohms with both channels driven at 0.05% distortion, six analog inputs and an MM phono stage. This 1991 design also carries a Dolby Pro Logic decoder with its own 15-watt rear amplifier section, so it can run a compact surround setup on its own. Made in Japan; good cosmetic condition.
Sansui A-900P 70 WPC Integrated Amplifier – Made in Japan
Seventy watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.05% distortion, from a DC servo output stage, with frequency response running from 5 Hz to 60 kHz. Moving-magnet phono at 2.5mV, line inputs for tuner, CD and aux, and a tape monitor loop for an outboard EQ. Built in Japan between 1985 and 1986. Condition very good; inspected and tested.
LXI AM4002 Integrated Amplifier 80 WPC (est), Dual Phono
Sold through Sears in the late seventies and heavier than that suggests — 22.9 lb, a 450 VA power rating, and metal knobs on everything. Two separate phono inputs, tape monitor and dubbing, subsonic and high filters, A/B speakers, and a front-panel mic mixing input. No factory manual survives, so the 80 WPC is our own conservative estimate. Level 1 serviced here; good cosmetic condition.

Braun Atelier A1 Slim Integrated Amp — 55 WPC, Pre-Out, Japan
The component that makes the rest of an Atelier system work, and the one people hunting these usually look for first. 55 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 80 into 4, with a preamplifier section that separates from the power stage — engineering that is not an afterthought to the industrial design. 445 mm wide and 70 mm tall, the exact footprint of the T1 tuner and C1 deck, so the stack reads as one machined object. Made in Japan for Braun. Good condition.
