I agree with jafant above. The Anthem STR series of integrated amps is two channel nirvana. I am about to upgrade to one, after owning one of their Integrated 225's. The only thing I don't like about it is that they are made in Canada instead of the US.
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
I’m trying to find a HIGH QUALITY integrated that has:
1. A no-corners-cut real class A - A/B power stage.
2. A real, high quality analog preamp line stage.
3. A good phono stage.
Aside from a few very high end products, the above described integrateds seem not to exist. Why can’t I find a quality integrated? Do we just have to accept having a pile of boxes?
