Help/Advice Choosing SS integrated

I toss some of the well reviewed Musical Fidelity integrateds into the pot of makes to look at as well.

One important thing to consider is the speakers you are driving.

Some integrateds, including some Mc models out there, do not deliver high current compared to separates as is needed for balanced sound with speakers where impedance varies significantly at various frequencies. This is not uncommon with many dynamic speaker designs.

You want an amp (integrated or otherwise) that largely doubles power output into 4 and even 2 ohms for many dynamic design speakers out there.

Several Musical Fidelity integrateds do very well at their price point in this regard, which is why I recommended them. I suspect same true of the Krells, Plinius, and Bel Cantos as well, but be sure before buying if this applies to your speakers.
