Can an IC based amp be considered 'high end'?

Advice on amp to pair with new Revel speakers
I feel a bit overwhelmed with so many options out there.  Like I was saying, there isn't a close hifi shop to me, so for any personal auditioning I'd have to drive for hours.  Would anyone have an idea For not too expensive integrated, look at ... 
Jeff Rowland Model 1
My belief, is amplifiers should be purchased to match the speakers it will be driving, and I am into " easily driven " speakers, not needing an amplifier to " double down " as georgie states. Like I said Great amp, and my reason for saying it als... 
First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions
Time Phase-Coherent speakers Are great when done right, so long as you don’t drive them with something like this. 75 degrees at 8khz, and still 40 degrees at 1.5khz. Then you may as well flip a coin with regard of mid to tweeter phasing or how yo... 
Jeff Rowland Model 1
jeffvegas Good little amp get it, what Rowland was good at "linear amps", can "almost" do the wattage doubling act into each halving of impedance loading (below), would have to be BJT (bi-polar) output stage as complimentary Mosfets couldn’t do th...

NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
Must have been from lifting, those heavy linear amps, that explains the strong dislike for them😊. 
Is Class D Analog or Digital ?
atdavid A class-D amplifier with digital input would be more akin to a power-DAC. This is just a Class-D amp with an inbuilt dac that can take digital input, these also usually have analog inputs as well if you don’t want to use it’s dac or have ... 
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
The Evoultion Ones take a very long time to burn in, a good 1000 hours before they sound their best What a crock of  **** 
NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET
Thanks! The Rowland 625 and 625 S2 Great linear amps, I’d back them over Class-D any day, except maybe the Technics SE-R1. Now that would be a good/interesting shootout.Cheers George 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
One thing that I didn’t mention, was that xrl only sounds better than se over very long distances. In many cases se actually sounds better, if an opamp was used to make the xlr circuit in your equipment, and you’d be very surprised to know just ho... 
Who needs a Preamp??
