There are so many factors involved with your question "can it perform equal to separates?" But If we are going to talk about integrated amps, and if you can find one used (very difficult and you know the reason why) I would go for the YBA Passion Integrated. The sweetest high current 100 wpc SS I've every heard. If I were going to move from my Bel Canto SET 40 amp (not happening)to SS, I would go for the YBA Passion Stereo Amp. I love YBA: Passionately.
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
I need to downsize to lessen moving expenses. Want ot find an integrated amp that can possibly perform equal to separates. Currently have a Bel Canto PRe3 line stage and a pair of Red Dragon M-500 digital monoblocks. I am also getting out of analog, and want to have just two pieces of electronics, that is, an integrated amp, and a CD player.
I need at least 100-150 RMS. Don't need any special features on the integrated that is, theater processor loop or inboarded DAC. Can spend up to approx $2100 for a USED and VGC integrated?? Thanks, Jim
