I have used both systems.(except mine was the older 1060 line-level integrated.) I thought the integrated was much stronger than the 1070 although the 1070 is rated higher in watts. The seperates gave me a little more detail and soundstage, but not for the price difference. I think the rotel integrated is a steal!!!!
As far as minimizing brightness, use high quality interconnects,speaker wire. Is the source you are using bright sounding?????
