I recommend having pre-out/main in to allow for future options, especially if wanting to move the bass frequencies away from the tube amp via a crossover (separate or in a sub), and return everything above low bass to the tube amp.
I assumed (hah) and discovered my Luxman SQ-N150 does not have that.
I also think staying in the 30/45 wpc range leaves future options that the 10 wpc amps cannot handle.
Vintage: lately I think: pre-arrange: buy and ship directly to Audio Classics (or your chosen firm) for an overhaul before you get it. That total cost is lower than a lot of new equipment that lacks so many features I find valuable.
Remote source switching is not needed IMO, but remote volume and remote balance is essential for me, so I run non-remote stuff thru Chase RLC-1 remote line controller. This one is a good price, has the remote (definitely needed), and free 60 day return

What currently available add-on can give remote control to vintage equipment?
