Best value in integrated amps at a moderate price?

I am looking at purchasing an integrated amp. I am looking for a good deal/value. I would like a powerful amp - but I do not think I can get enough power in an integrated on a budget if you will. I have not decided on speakers yet. Can I get a couple of suggestions on a few products?

I'm very happy with ASL AQ1001DT 50wpc (30wpc in triode).

First off, what is you budget?

My suggestion would be decided on the speakers first. This will dictate what you will need out of an integrated. If you buy a lower powered unit and then fall in love with some inefficent speakers, you will will have a bad combo.

Baroque_lover...the Blue Circle CS is a nice integrated amp, but I don't think I'd consider it to be a powerful amp. The Blue Circle NSCS, on the other hand, has a good amount of power and is IMHO a great value...
