Is there a clear definition of what "Integrated" means?
but what constitutes the "pre-amp"? my guess is the "pre"?  
speakers and cables
@immatthewj  we often have such high expectations but we do not want to let ourselves be suckered in to confirmation bias  Well said. I think we have the ability to hear music in ways a normal person can't and once we do hear something extraor... 
Subwoofers and Seating Position for Klipsch Forte iv's
@dsper here is my diary of my very simple and not at all sophisticated journey. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/speakers-and-cables There are obvious differences, such you have a big room and true full range speakers. The end of my story... 
Preamp for Parasound A21+ with Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers
you may want a tube preamp. The main issue with the P6 is that it has a zillion features. Are you planning to use them, such as the phono in, sub out, crossover, balanced in and out, etc. It's more like a swiss army knife preamp and not a fine "W...

it’s a good brain exercise to try to keep up with the direction of this thread.  
Why no pics on A’gon Forum?
it's a forum engine from the 20th century (like many of us). It lacks major features that's considered normal these days. But once you get used to it, it does what it's supposed to. It's like a serious book, no pictures :)

why do you have to put the speakers in a cabinet if the room is large?

@blackiridium  There are speakers that are OK to be in a cabinet, that's how they were designed. I think some Devore and Revival models but I would check with the manufacturer.     
Revel Salon 2

Where Do I Go from Here?
Perhaps @deep_333 is waiting for his elders to fund his adult future I would prefer to inherit or win or find money much rather than working for it. (Hasn't worked out yet, but one can always dream)  
Subwoofers and Seating Position for Klipsch Forte iv's
38Hz seem low, as you are using it between 18Hz and 38Hz? I went through a lot of pain for weeks with setting up 2 subs and I am curious about what I can learn from you.  
Where Do I Go from Here?
I love my kids too much to leave them any money there are 1000s of good causes if you don't want to give it to your kids     Also, at 75 you have a good chance of hitting 90.  That makes zero sense to me, mathematically, biologically, med... 
Where Do I Go from Here?
At your advanced age of 75, you should probably give more money to your grandson for a house down payment, his audio rig, etc and not spend all your cash on yourself yes, that sounds sensible even though getting into his circumstances that's no...

I would look in the 10-20K range. I can't imagine picking a 50K speaker correctly without a home demo, you would always wonder "what if" about the other speakers.  https://speakerchoices.com/?pricemin=10000&pricemax=20000
