Low powered integrated recommendation


I’m looking for a low power integrated amp for a small second system in my home. I’m sure 20 - 30 wpc is more than enough. Looking for something that has really good sound in a compact package. Integrated phono stage not a priority. 
 

What’s your suggestion? I’ve intentionally omitted a price range as I’m flexible 

Thanks!

Looking at your quite excellent listed main system, you might enjoy something from Sugden. They've got multiple choices for integrated amps. And there are color options if so desired. The good sound in a compact package was my thinking here. If you'd like to go further upmarket, and depending upon one's speakers for the bedroom system, Gryphon also has a few choices, but maybe less compact. 

Then again, reviewers seem to have fun with the Musical Fidelity A1. 

Best of luck!

Rega IO is stunningly good for the very low price, and fits your requirements perfectly. 

Compact, 30 watts, inexpensive, sounds great, and also has a decent MM phono stage.

I use mine in a desktop system with a pair of Chartwell LS3/5As and the sound is remarkably good!
