Parasound Hint 6 or separates?

Thanks, that has been my experience as well, along with saving a bunch on the extra power cord and set of interconnects for separates. But I want to explore all options before buying the Hint.

Thanks for the responses. No, I am not completely sold on Parasound. I am concerned with power, though, due to my speakers and large listening room. The Hint 6 offers a lot of watts for the money compared to most competing integrateds in its price range. So that is really it's one major selling point. Hegel integrateds looks enticing as well - similar power but a bit more money layout. I'd welcome other suggestions.

Thanks, goldprintaudio, that helps a lot!
