Advice on a nice integrated is needed

Strickly my opinion nay advice FWIW:

I'd toss the VAC Phi Beta into the category of high class integrateds as well. Its the best looking one at least IMHO.

The JRDG seems to have a sterling reputation as well.

The Emitter seems to be the most ground breaking and intriguing design to me personally...never heard one though.

Amazingly, the JRDG would appear to be by far the bargain among these three.

"It just goes to prove the point that from system to system, the cables, speakers, room, ancillary gear and quality of power can drastically alter the performance of any high end gear"

...also people's ears.
