Do you already have speakers? If so, what is the efficiency? If you don't need a lot of power I would go with an integrated. I believe that say a Sim Audio I-5, Pathos Classic or some such (around 2k used) would give you better low level detail than separates in the same price range, IMO. I own Quad 12L's, Quad 909 and Quad 99pre. I really liked the I-5 and Classic more than my Qaud power & pre but, they didn't have enough power for the size of my room. Good Luck.
Seperates vs Integrated at $2000
I would like to hear from members that have moved from an integrated to seperates or the other way around . Given the same approximate value, @ $2000 total used, is one configuration beneficial over the other ?
I know that this has been discussed elsewhere but not within the context of equal and specific values .
I would be listening to fast dynamic music such as classic rock and contemporary blues, near field and in a small room . Low level characteristics are important .
Can anyone help ?
