YBA Integre vs. YBA / Audio Refinement Complete

I used to own the Integre. The Audio Refinement cannot, even, step into the ring with the Integre. Forget about going one round. Case closed. I loved my Integre for 7 years. Best SS for the price, and more, anywhwere. There is a reason it costs twice the price. Is that emphatic enough. I'm a YBA lover from way back. Killer stuff. peace, warren

I used to have the Complete integrated matched with the 5.3's. I sold my Complete and bought a used Plinius 8100, it's in a totally different league for only about 300-400 dollars more. More detail, soundstage, bass, palpability. Think of an audiophile word and the plinius has added that to my stereo in spades. Think of the 8100 as a better Audio Refinement because they have a very similar sound, just the Plinius does what they do better. I don't have any experience with the Integre, but the Plinius is great especially considering that you can pick them for about 1000 used, good luck.

Absolutely YBA integre!!!
