My Triad of Integrateds


Whenever someone says they are looking for an integrated, I think they should try brands:

  • Luxman
  • Pass
  • Ayre
  • Arcam (actually a lot like Ayre to my ears)


Because I hear them as quite different sounding. What about you? Is there a constellation of integrateds you think buyers should experience?

@ghasley , honestly didn’t know folks could get upset from learning about one new good but unknown piece, and I highly doubt I did “hijack” the OP’s thread by naming this particular  brand. Now I have to add two more brands to be forgiven... oh no... just remembered had the Luxman in ‘09 (sucked), had a latest BAT hybrid right before I got the Maestro, also sucked (Bat separates I have in my main system are great).) how’s that for a triad😂?

I'm sorry if you mistook my comments for upset, I am not nor would I have a right to be, its not my thread. Just thought it might be courteous to the OP to start another thread that focuses on your Audio Analogue love. That's all.

So, your triad of integrated amplifiers that you would recommend is still incomplete unless all three are AA. Have a great day.
@ghasley at this point the only upset person here is you, and I don’t even know why. Kind of strange. You’re not even familiar with the pieces (they make 3 integrateds, btw,😂).

@erik_squires I hope you’re not really upset on this matter
@hasmarto 


I assure you, I’m not upset or even mildly bothered. I wish you happiness with your AA gear, that’s why we are all here. Peace.
Damn I was gonna buy a Luxman, accuphase or pass integrated. Now I gotta buy an audio analogue.
