Integrated that blew you away


Like most I run separates but am looking to downsize but also upgrade. So for the first time since I decided I wanted as close to a world class system as I could afford, I’m looking at integrated amps.

 

So if you’re a separates guy/gal but heard an integrated that really struck you. Please share. I want to hear all the steamy details. The speakers, the source, the pursed lips and steamy glances.

I had been enjoying my Primaluna EVO 300 for a few years, compared it to many other options (including some significantly more expensive ones) and in my system the Primaluna just sounded right. 

Recently I upgraded to a Unison Research Unico 150 and I'm quite happy with it. Again, not the most expensive piece in the world, but it fits my preferences perfectly. 

Separates can be fun as well, I have had good and bad results there so it's no guarantee of an improvement over integrated designs.

Meanwhile the Dyslexics of the forum are composing replies to the thread titled:

 

Ingratitude that blew you away

Kinki Studio EX-M1+. 
 

it is now the standard with which a judge other audio gear. 

@mindhead1 That EX-M1+ does look nice. I wasn't able to get my hands on one to demo, but it looks impressive for sure and has a great reputation so far.
