My Triad of Integrateds


Whenever someone says they are looking for an integrated, I think they should try brands:

  • Luxman
  • Pass
  • Ayre
  • Arcam (actually a lot like Ayre to my ears)


Because I hear them as quite different sounding. What about you? Is there a constellation of integrateds you think buyers should experience?

I bought a Ayre A7e to use with KEF LS50s in a secondary setup in which the source is Roon via a microRendu/Ayre Codex.  I've been very impressed with this little integrated bought used for about $1500.  It has the same sense of refinement I enjoy with the Ayre 5/Twenty digital hub, preamp, and amp I use with KEF Ref 1s in my primary setup.  That secondary setup is very satisfying and really all I need.
