Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
T+A PA3100HV. After countless, McIntosh, Pass Labs, Spectral separates . This is by far my favorite. I've owned 2 other integrateds Rogers EHF-200MKII (LOVED), and a Vitus SIA-025 (over rated).

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I'll be using a Luxman 509x to drive a pair of Harbeth Super HL 5+ Anniversary model speakers.....after the first of the year. I've already purchased the speakers, cables, and stands. I'll add the Luxman 509x, Lumin D2, Roon Nucleus, headphone amp (maybe Schiit Vali or Valhalla), and a sub, immediately after the first of the year. The purchase is divided into two increments for tax reasons. The wait is a killer but I gotta be patient.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
Nice , the luxman is on my list to try one day . The sugden a21se was absolutely superb with the tannoy eaton legacy . the remote is a bit hard to get precise volume but apart from that it was a superb integrated amp

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
"[...Pretty much all of the reference level integrateds I've seen still look quite compromised compared to their separates brethren...]"
Quite compromised? How so? Could you be more specific?
"[...I do however wish more manufacturers would push the boundaries with integrateds....]"
It seems to me there are a significant number of manufacturers "pushing the boundaries of integrateds." For example, Luxman, Gryphon, T + A, Hegel, VAC, MBL, Pass, McIntosh, Audio Research, Goldmund, and many, many, others.
"[...I often feel the disparity between separates and integrateds is too large....]"
Really? Don't get me wrong, I'm far from an expert on this subject as I'm a recent returnee to high end audio after about a 40 year hiatus. But it's my understanding that integrateds have come a long way in that time period, to the point where many integrateds match up very well with their "separates brethren", whether you're talking specs or live listening. I'm not sure this post will get a response since this is an older thread. But, for me, I think especially from a performance standpoint, the current choice of integrateds stack up very well against separates. However, for some, there are certainly reasons to go with separates.....higher performance in some cases and a better chance of being able to operate your system if something goes down (a very legit reason), etc. To me, the main disadvantages of separates are the cable/connection and room/space issues. But, I think integrateds today often equal and perhaps in some cases surpass the performance of some separates. And in some cases, the sonic differences between integrateds and their comparable separates are virtually inaudible. I'm one of those who have a relatively small listening room (12' x 27') and going integrated is a more viable alternative. And I don't feel like I'll be giving up any performance advantages.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
Most manufacturers that offer an integrated solution will tell you that they could not possibly offer a comparable separates solution at anywhere close to the same cost/price point. Gryphon, who offers what most would consider a couple of high end integrateds, is a case in point. Do they offer even better sounding separates? Sure, but at much higher price points. So if it's just performance you're after and price, space, cables, power, etc, are not critical, buy separates.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I am still very much enjoying my Luxman L590AXII Class A integrated, Luxman D-06U SACD/USB player and a pair of Harbeth 30.2 40th Anniversary speakers. Killer musical system for the money invested. Thanks Mike!

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
My listening room is not small at 30x26 but based on my previous experience of various systems I have built over the years I knew that the Class A 590 would drive the speakers I chose (30.2) with room to spare. In fact I often listen to my PrimaLuna Dialogue HP integrated in triode mode which is only some 30w from EL-34 tubes and it’s more than enough.
When it comes to solid state, I prefer class A for the slightly sweeter and warmer signature that it typically offers. No other reason really.

Picked up a Rogue Cronus Magnum to drive Quad ESLs. I’ve been very pleased. Great sound for nominal money. And 100 wpc with KT120s.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I was using a Copland CSA29 up until I decided to build a First Watt M2 clone, the M2X from DIYAudio.
Pure class A and only 25 watts into 8 ohms, more than enough in my small area.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I'm in the process of putting together a new system and I will be making a trip to Suncoast Audio next month to audition several amps and make a final decision on one. Brands I'll be listening to include Luxman, Simaudio/Moon, Gryphon, NAIM, Hegel, and Pass Labs among others.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I had been using separates in my main system until a few months ago when my Amp died and I simplified things with a Luxman 505UXII and I am more than happy with the choice I made. The Luxman drives my Dynaudios to levels they have never seen and my old tryst Clearfields are now for sale.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
Hegel makes excellent components. They seem to be somewhat overlooked. Their components sound wonderful and they pack a lot of value into their products. I auditioned an H390 and thought it sounded incredible. What's not to like?

No integrated in my main System, but in my Office I do.
This is my Esoteric RZ-1 Preamp/DA/Amp/SACDPlayer in my office.
Just added the Starpoint platform.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
With my renewed HH Scott 296 Integrated amp connected to my 12 year old Cornscala's (the new Klipsch Cornwall IV, by the looks of it!), with the source being a Bluesound Vault 2 - well I couldn't ask for a better system. Listening to it is like feeding a starving man bacon!

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I have tried several amps and preamps, both stereo and mono amps. Also solid state and tubes in both preamps and mono amps. Sound is very important but also the feelings I get from the gear.
Yes the looks do come into play, the layout in my room, etc. Some of the gear has stood out as exemplary to me; First Watt, Audio Mirror, T+A, Wyred 4 Sound Stage 2, Audio Research, etc. Some I really did not enjoy, PS Audio, SST, Quicksilver...
With all this said I am really enjoying this McIntosh Hybrid Integrated. Besides sounding wonderful it just gives me really nice warm and fuzzies, making me feel good seeing it sitting there and enjoying the music playing through it.McIntosh C49, MC152, MR85, R778 | T+A DAC 8 DSD | KEF LS50 Meta w/S2, KC62 (x2) | Rega RP8, Ania Pro, NEO PSU | Technics SL-1500C | Audio Technica VM750ML | Hexmat Eclipse, Yellow Bird, Molekula, Molekula Mini | Pro-Ject VC-E | Falcon NW PC Server (Roon Core & HQPlayer) | Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Roon Controller) | Wyred 4 Sound ISO Recovery, DC Recovery | Abyss Diana Phi | Schiit Jotunheim 2 | Astell&Kern SE200 | Oppo BDP105

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
Used to use separates including several SETs after I bought horn speakers. Then decided to move to SS and spent 2 years auditioning many power amps and integrateds. Settled on an integrated - NAD M32. Not just an integrated amp but one with a DAC built in and an optional streamer module. Best value and excellent quality, but likely to upgrade to NAD M32 with new Purifi amp module soon.
Yes I could improve the sound a little with a megabucks power amp plus matching preamp, DAC and streamer, but I'd prefer to spend that extra 20+K on better speakers. This will CERTAINLY offer a much bigger overall improvement in sound quality. PeterSources - NAD M50.2 (streamer, CD player, CD ripper, hard drive music store)

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
I am using a Devialet 1000 in my main system. It's 2 boxes linked by a Digital link (a Chord Sarum T in the case of my system), but contains a dac, pre-amp and amp.
Frankly, the question isn't really whether it is close to separates, but more what separate get close to this level of quality... I have personally never heard any.
Cheers,

Hi Bernard,
Devialet makes an awesome package. The features and integration are superb. I had an early unit and even used it as a preamp/dac into a separate amp with great success.
Congratulations on a wonderful system.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Re: Do you use an integrated in your main system?
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
The Luxman that you are using is one amp I have been interested in since it was released. I love the classical looks and the sound seems great too!
