The right integrated amplifier depends on your system, your sources and how you intend to use it. Beyond power output, three features can make a significant difference in everyday use: built-in streaming, TV connectivity and room optimisation.
Streaming
Built-in streaming — Music streaming is integrated directly into the amplifier, allowing you to access compatible streaming services without adding a separate network player.
External streamer required — A traditional or more modular approach, allowing you to choose and upgrade your network player independently.
TV Integration
HDMI equipped — A direct HDMI connection makes it easier to integrate your TV into the Hi-Fi system and use the amplifier for both music and television.
No HDMI — Designed around traditional analogue and digital Hi-Fi connections. A TV may still be connected through another compatible digital or analogue output.
Room Optimisation
Room correction — Integrated acoustic correction helps adapt playback to the characteristics of your listening room, speaker placement and listening position.
No room correction — A traditional Hi-Fi approach where speaker positioning, system setup and room acoustics remain the primary tools for optimising performance.
