What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?


I want to get off the $$$ bandwagon. I'm tired of spending money, and then in a year, the equipment has dropped in used value substantially, since the fickle audiophile community has moved on to new favorites.

There must be very good sounding integrateds, or more modestly priced separates that perform as well. I'm still looking for quality, weight and finish, so it doesn't have to be just modest priced gear.

Thoughts: Rowland, Plinius, Simaudio, Vincent, or others. Don't want cheap, plastic, light stuff with limited power either.

There must be audiophiles who have felt the same way, and found things that satisfied them as well, or nearly as well, because they were tired of spending and spending.

For the audio equipment, I think speakers are probably the most important one. You need to decide if your current speakers are good enough for you. Then you can decide the rest of electronics.

I have rotated 5 sets of speakers for my main system in the last 4 years. I came to the conclusion that a set of full range speakers without extra external subwoofer is what I need. This helped me decide the rest of equipment.
