Speaker amp recommendation

Hi Everyone! I'm looking to save some space on my bookshelf. Currently have a "vintage" receiver that measures 19 inches wide, that powers two sets of speakers. It's rated at 40 Watts and I don't go past half way on the dial.

So I'm looking for a smaller amp that has both a line in and phono in. If it had outputs for two sets of speakers that would be a bonus but not necessary.

Does anyone have any recommendations for either a stand alone unit or a modular stack?

Thanks!
 
What is your budget? And what model is your current vintage reciever?
 
As inexpensive at practical, lol.

Currently a onkyo tx-2500 II.

I'm thinking about a fosi BT20A and fosi phono pre amp.
 
I have a nad d3020 v2 in one room.

Stands vertically rather than horizontally, phone in, line in, coax and optical in gets the job done in a small footprint

That looks like a nice, compact package, thanks for the recommendation!
 
Wow thats a nice vintage amplifier. :)

The NAD D3045 is small and has a MM Phono- and line-in.

Yes, it's nice! I plan on keeping it, but am going to need something with a smaller footprint where it is now.

The NAD devices are definitely contenders, need to go do some research on them, thanks!
