Four channel intergrated amp?
Is there such an animal as a "audiophile" four channel intergrated amp? Here is my deal. I am currently using an Integra (Onkyo) DTM 5.3 "reciever". I've had it for years, and it has four channel speaker output that I have really grown accustomed to. I like the speaker pattern both in front and behind me.
I really want to upgrade, as I know this unit is "mid-fi" at best. 95% of my listening is vinyl records, so I need an intergrated amp with a good phono section. So my $64,000 question is if there is such an animal?
I have googled four channel intergrated amp, with no success. My price range is up to $2,500 and only need 40 watts per channel. My speakers are Paradigm monitor and tower speakers. I don't want to loose the four channel experience. Is there a way to do that with going the preamp and two separate amp route?
Thanks in advance for suggestions and advice.
