Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?

Look no further than the Esoteric F-05. I just collapsed my 5 piece bryston 7B SST2’s, BP-26, and Ray Samuels audio F-117 phono stage into this one piece. Did so after auditioning the new bryston 4B 3 and BP 17 Cubed series which are getting rave reviews. The Esoteric F-05 sounded clearly Superior to me on my Focal Sopra2’s and it has a balanced fixed level output which I will use to connect my headphone amp. Not Looking Back.

Thrax Audio Enyo and Ares integrated amps are true game changers and magical. All in one box units and support streaming and high resolution files. With built in Phono and Dac. They out perform  many seperates costing costing 30 to 60k

Ayon Triton integrated, Class A
amazing!

any old QED product; have not found anything better than my 240 SA, except I would like to find a QED 300 SA, which I think has front and rear speaker outs; Nakamichi, T$A is too base driven, and I no longer use it

be nice to find a well-rounded CD player and a dragon killer as well.would unload both my 1000s

The Creek Evolution 100 A seems to have plenty of power. Drives my Proac D48Rs(90db) with ease. like I said, a surprising sounding integrated, at least in my system.
