Quality and price being equal, the integrated should always come out on top. Particularly when you factor in power cords, interconnect, etc.
Integrated vs pre/power
Hi my friend overseas is considering the convenience of a integrated vs a pre/power. His speakers are very efficient.
Some of the integrated's he is considering are the Simaudio 700i, Boulder 865, Gryphon Diablo.
For pre/power he is looking at the Herron VTSP3A/Monoblocks, or the Ayre 5series combo.
will the pre/power always come out ahead, and in what areas?
