Need suggestions for bookcase amp

Hey, does anyone have a suggestion for a small, not too expensive, reliable and nice-sounding amp for the living room? Something that can fit on the bookshelf, by which I mean no more than 17 inches in height (depth is no problem, it's a very deep shelf). I like tubes but a good quality transistor amp would be fine. It would be nice if the controls and inputs were on the front, rather than the top. Reverb is a must. Something I can find used that isn't likely to suddenly need a new output transformer or switch. Doesn't have to be too powerful, a 15W or thereabouts should be ok, though a little extra muscle would be a plus.

Thanks for your suggestions,

I haven't found a "bookcase" tube amp with reverb. So I'll list the 1 tube amp I'd get anyway, even tho it doesn't have verb:

Tubes = Songworks Little Lanilei or 3350LT

Transistor = Vox DA5 (man, this is a FUN little box!)

I have the DA5, love it, and a Little Lanilei/3350LT is on my "to buy" list.

a Reverend Goblin would be great for this -- 5/15 watt switchable, multiple voices, 1x10, 13-1/2" wide, 16-3/4" tall, 9-1 /2" deep. 22 lbs.

Crafter guitars makes 1 amp, It's a nce little box, has the best sound you can buy for less that 350 dollars. it's transistor and it has an electronic reverb and a whole bucnh of other cool effects (delay etc ) it's really a great practice amp/bookshelf amp.

And it has a microphone input!

these amps look the best imo for what you want, in a living room amp....dont know what they sound like though.

but i can definately reccommend the Mini Z as a contender, damn loud & fine sounding amp.

Tubes: Fender Pro Junior. Great little amp.
SS: Vox Valvetronix AD15VT, a little 15-watt modeller. I have a 30-watt version. Fun little amp and inexpensive too. Sounds a lot more expensive than it is...

a roland microcube is a good choice. they sound great, and you can buy one new for 125, or second hand/ebay for alot less. It has reverb/delay, chorus/flanger/tremelo, plus several useable amp models...the best model IMO is called Brit Combo. The controls are on top, but the amp is only 8" high so if you have 17" to work with, you should find it comfortable to use. they also work reasonably well for recording via the headphone/rec out to a PC or other recording device.

the little amp amazes me, how good it can sound, such a tiny package, such a tiny price...

oh yeah, i almost forgot...it can also run on 6AA batteries ..and the batteries seem to last a really long time
(AC adapter is included too)

a roland microcube is a good choice.

Agreed. But be aware that the on/off switch is on the back of the amp.
