What Integrated Amps Are You Using (or what have you tried?)
Since we have really not had a place to extoll the virtues of integrated amps, or to show off our stuff, I think it would be nice to tell what integrated amps we are currently using or have used in the (not so distant) past.
I currently am using a McIntosh MA-7000, and in the past couple of years I owned and used a Rowland Continuum 500, SimAudio I-7, Rowland Concerto, GamuT Audio DI-150, and a McIntosh MA6900.
All had strengths and weaknesses, but I'm very happy with the MA7000.
