Absolute Clown website has a range of integrateds on their Top Picks Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The real problems with all-in-ones are as follows: 1. a little extra design may be needed to reduce noise 2. speaker cables may be long vs. sticking mono-blocks close to the speakers 3. um... ah... oh yeh! I got one more 3. if you upgrade you might have to upgrade the whole thing Link to comment

Yes, but that is not a dis-advantage, which was the question. Bel Canto good. Maybe not $25,000 good... Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The Gryphon Diablo sux - it's full of noise and has too much stuff crammed into the chassis space. Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 oh c'mon - big numbers are impressive AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 What about Respectable Receivers? they contain an RF section for the tuner module, so should be harder to isolate from noise... Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 No, I was quoting GUTB's two points Link to comment

What IS "mcintosh sound" ?? Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 so not excellent or even very good - Thx. Link to comment
