Although not necessarily 'Classic' but definitely old, I have two 1977 Phase (Blaze) Linear 400 amplifiers, an RGR model 4 preamp and four Ohm Acoustics Model F speakers. This is not my main system but in years past it brought me much pleasure and I actually never had any reliability problems with the amps.
I have a Carver TFM-35 circa 1993. I bought it brand new on eBay in 2008 for $500 as a sealed box while used ones were going for $450. I thought it might be fake until I opened it up and saw the Nichicon capacitors and Toshiba transistors. It has a sparkling yet smooth top end. I had a new Don Sachs Kootenay that bettered it but certainly did not embarrass it. I ran the Carver through a Don Sachs preamp for the past year and it was pretty holographic. Sometimes old stuff is pretty surprising.
