Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp?

I started this thread in 2006 and have experienced several excellent integrated since that time - the two latest were the Simaudio Moon I-7 - which was a phenomenal piece of gear and the Jeff Rowland 500 watt Continuum Integrated Amplifier - Man, what an amp!

I am currently using this amplifier in a second system with a pair of extremely power hungry - extremely revealing - Eggleston Andra II speakers and the results are indeed something to write home about.

Let me first state that my "main system" consists of Avalon Eidolons, driven by Spectral electronics and I guess you might say that I am aware of how good stuff should sound - so - when I say that the Rowland Continuum is really excellent - I am basing this statement on 40+ years of listening to good equipment, and even my old, almost worn out ears can hear the difference.

The Rowland Continuum 500 watt integrated amp is GOOD! Probably the best I have ever heard and possibly (almost) the equal of my Spectral separates.

Try it - You'll like it!

I am the proud owner of the Bow Technologies Wazoo XL and for a 75 watts per channel amplifier it does a very good job on my Acoustat's 1+1s speakers with a very difficult load 82db it is a very well built unit and also very nice.

Only music through the latest ViVa Solista mkII, after many auditions and search of Musical integrated this one stole my heart....it's like a real pre/power combo like Krell FBI, but on different sound spectrum, closer to music and more evolving, maybe it's the SET sound which so powerfull.

Definetely one of the very few Ultra integrated amps someone should check among others.

"LUXMAN" L590a mk2 or L550a mk2... CLASS A

The Esoteric AT-100 is an integrated amp. However,it also happens to be the "best" amp I have heard to date, by a very wide margin. This is a break through amplifier IMO sound wise. This amp in worth building a system around, as it is so far ahead of its peers.
