Best Integrated, period.

Hegel H100 powerful and very dynamic at the same time

Dear moderator and fellow AGONers:

After 5 years and 366 posts, isn't it finally time to finally kill off this tired old thread?

I ask this without prejudice to the assertion that there is no ".... best integrated...period"; just personal and heavily biased opinions.

We all know that what sounds great in one's own system may sound like crap in tne next guys system, simply because the reat of the components are different.

Akg_ca, you make excellent points. But for the same reasons that you think the thread should be removed, I think it should live forever. Can there be a better example - especially for newbie posters seeking component advise - than this thread, to demonstrate that if enough Agoners participate, sooner or later, every component on the face of the earth will be recommended.

Of course, the real shame of it is that all these other posts, obscure those from us who really do know the best :-)

This best of type stuff is for the kid that lives inside many of us. When we were kids we used to argue things like who was the best Pitcher on a Baseball team or QB on a football team or the best band ever guitarist etc etc. you get the point. No there is no logical best in tegrated only arguements supporting one's favorite. Some readers may be looking for an integrated and find these nominations useful.

Akg ca,

My recommendation to you is simply don't read this thread. It is like people complaining about TV shows or radio programs if you don't like it just turn it off and the ones that enjoy this or any thread can enjoy it.
