Robsker & Phaelon, Thanks also for your opinions, I am usuing a Classe CAP 151 integrated and has been forelorning a bit of the difference from my prior Aragon 2004/18K and have considered changing to maybe a Simaudio (like maybe the I-7) unit or a Mcintosh (MA 6600)that comes to mind, but... I connect my ARC CD 3 Mk 2 balanced and need an integrated that can accomidate that as well as having enough headroom and power for my Apogee Slant 6s. Don't get me wrong the presentation IS great just maybe looking to squeeze even more again and (hopefully) stop changing in any future (even though I'd like to be full ARC).
Sound staging; Sepertaes Vs. Integrated
Is ther a technical reason as to why seperates can (Or do) throw a wider and or deeper soundstage? I have great imaging from my integrated but, also remember that my seperates that I used to have threw a bigger stage and was wondering why that might be and if someone could could help as to the reason(s) why that might be?
