Just get a new integrated. Time marches on and those times change. There are a passel of integrated now that make the separates an expensive afterthought. Also, then you'd still have the preamp outs for subs should you want them.
Question regarding adding a poweramp to an integrated amp
Greetings,
If I added a powered amplifier to an integrated amplifier via preouts, would the internal amplifier on the integrated turn off? Or will it still run and generate heat regardless?
I have a Lexicon RV-5 and love it and it’s functioning fine, but I am concerned at the age and the fact that nobody wants to touch it in regards to servicing it. I wanted to get it recapped and even pyramid audio won’t due it. Basically I’d feel more comfortable buying a poweramp if I knew I’d be preserving the internal amplifier.
