"Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there??????


Hello Audiogoner's,
Without going into huge details I'll get right to the point!!!!, can a serious Stereophile, really survive on integrated amp alone?? after having separates for over 40 years, are there any really awesome integrated amps out there which could out perform my present system?. I am Running Krell, gear but I am getting that change gear itch! Bad Idea! can't be done?, let me know sugestions appreciated. ******Thank You Again.

Buy a Mcintosh 6900, 5 band eq, and quality power and pre that some seperates can't touch honestly, super smooth tube like sound with the power of a big krell.
Integrated amps have really come a long way over the past several years. I used to run strictly separate amps and preamp but now just run an integrated amp. I love the simplicity and sonically I don't feel I've really sacrificed anything.
"The itch is gone" separates rule!!!!!!!!. Thank you all for your help.**********Aoltes
