There are many well received integrateds out there these days that use CLass D amplifiers, even inexpensive Japanese ones from companies like Onkyo. Quality of power supply, which matters might vary widely with an integrated more so than separates. If the specs indicate mostly doubling down to 4 ohm, it is probably worth consideration. There are still limitations with amp and pre-amp in close proximity in same box with Class D, but technical aspects relating to noise and shielding are different. I have not used Class D integrateds so cannot vouch, but many have received good reviews and acceptance. To be safe, I'd say separates are better (and with Class D amps smaller as well). But why not try a well reviewed integrated for reasonable cost first and see? If it does not work out then move on eot separates. I think there is a decent chance the right integrated could work for OP.
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I don't understand-after my Musical Fidelity M6i amp warms up for about an hour I notice the deep bass & kick drum aren't the same.
They sound less musical with loss of weight/depth.The notes are there but the moving of air have left.Sound is has much less impact and boreing.
I had the same problem with Bryston amp so there is no defect with amps nor with the rest of my equipment/
PSB Synchrony one speakers,AQ cables,Bryston CD Player.
My question has anyone heard similar & is there a plausable reason?
