After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?

Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much?
I agree with your post.  Well said.   
Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it?
Qobuz again   
How can I tell if I am overdriving the amp or the speakers?
Please tell us your front end components and cabling on the front end. Also, give us an idea of speaker and listening positioning. Toe in etc… Thank you.  
Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much?
