I just changed from using separates for 55 years over to an integrated amplifier.
I sold off 5?listening rooms of hi end gear- quad E 57s, Magnapanar, TAD, AR 3, paradigm, Boulder, Dynaco, McIntosh, Peachtree, Belles etc etc
Feel liberated- so happy
i stumbled over a Rotel A14 and was shocked how good it sounds coupled with Elac and Epos speakers and a Cambridge streamer. The only piece I kept was a Calif Audio Lab Mark Ii CD PLAYER that is terrific!
Im a minimalist!
And the room sounds good
