Move From AVR to Integrated?

I am a little late getting back. I recommended an integrated amplifier due primarily to budget. Many have the features you desire and at your budget will provide a sonic quality equal to or better than separates.  I am just not convinced that the purchase of separates is the most viable given the number of great integrated amplifiers available within your budget. The sources you use are equally important and need to compliment your amplification and speakers. 

My approach, only one of many, would be to invest in a quality integrated amplifier. Save flexibility for the source components. Run the speakers full range and manage bass with placement, x-over, phase, and volume functions on the sub(s).

I wish you the best which ever way you choose. 

What’s diff between integrated amp and avr, seem same type of box.

I slept in it and will do so for a few more days. At this point I’m leaning towards the Outlaw. Not only does it offer an increase in quality power, but measured pretty well, has a quality phono stage that matches the output of my cartridge (and I’m sure an upgrade from my Art DJ), as well as offering basic bass crossovers to my sub and mains. Also allows the use of an EQ unit if I so desire to use Dirac. With the exception of shipping, there is a return policy for Outlaw. The Arcam is attractive, but may be a bit more than I want to spend right now. I’m still debating on separates. The zPre3 I could get for 225 on ebay directly from a seller. Would make total cost of what I’m looking at around 1200. Would not include bass management, but that preamp does have bypass. My room is a shared living space so while I measured the sub with REW to get best placement, I'm limited in other things. Speakers are out from wall, but not 6 feet into the room like Cardas or other methods recommend. Separates would offer me flexibility and a path to upgrade, but if I’m not happy, returns wouldn’t be as flexible or easy with multiple components. Not going to make the decision immediately.

Apologies for being a broken record. I realize this setup is small potatoes in a place like this, but it's a bigger deal for me. 

Yup, it never hurts to take your time to sleep on it.  

@213runnin Do you happen to know if the wireless internet in the Outlaw easily allows for streaming from a phone things like Tidal? I do a lot of listening thru that.
