the integrateds get rid of the cost and sonic influence of interconnects so there is a big gain there. The integrates do tend to be on the low end of the power spectrum and tend to not be high current amps from what i've experienced. that can present issues with hard to drive speakers
Are the performance of separates worth the price?
I am considering the purchase of an integrated amp or combination pre-amp/amp from the same manufacturer - both are based on similar technology. The separates will cost approximately 45% more. Can I expect the performance to justify the price?
Additional info:
Considering the soon to be released Jeff Rowland Concerto Integrated vs. Concerto Pre-Amp and Model 201 Monoblocks (or) the BAT VK-300x Integrated vs. BAT VK-31se and the BAT VK-250.
My speakers are Vienna Acoustics - Beethovens
Thanks
