Integrated Stereo Amplifiers

An integrated stereo amplifier combines a preamplifier and a power amplifier in one box. It is the simplest and most cost-effective way to build a high-quality stereo music system with a pair of passive bookshelf or tower speakers. Modern integrated amplifiers often add a built-in DAC, a phono stage for turntables, HDMI ARC for your TV, Bluetooth and full network streaming, making them the hub of a complete Hi-Fi setup. We stock integrated amplifiers from Marantz, Denon, Rotel and other Hi-Fi brands.

Why choose an integrated amplifier?

• Better sound for music: dedicated two-channel design focuses on clarity and dynamics.
• Simplicity: one box handles source switching, volume and amplification.
• Value: usually better stereo sound than an AV receiver at the same price.
• Flexibility: add a turntable, CD player, streamer or TV.

Features to look for

• Power output: check watts per channel at 8 and 4 ohms against your speakers' needs.
• Built-in DAC: optical, coaxial and USB inputs for TV, computer and CD transports.
• Phono input: MM (moving magnet) or MC (moving coil) for turntables.
• HDMI ARC: connect your TV and control volume with the TV remote.
• Streaming: HEOS, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal and Qobuz.
• Pre-out and sub out: add a power amplifier or subwoofer later.
• Headphone output: a quality headphone amp for private listening.

Matching amplifier and speakers

Choose an amplifier rated for your speakers' impedance with power at or slightly above the recommended range. Efficient speakers (90 dB+) work well with moderate power; less efficient speakers benefit from more powerful, high-current amplifiers.

Building a Hi-Fi system

A complete system can be as simple as an integrated amplifier with streaming and a pair of speakers. Add a turntable for vinyl, a CD player for your collection, and a subwoofer for extra bass. Good speaker cables and proper speaker placement complete the setup.

Integrated amplifier vs AV receiver

If you mainly listen to music, an integrated amplifier usually gives better sound for the money. If you also want surround sound for films, consider an AV receiver, or an integrated amplifier with home theatre bypass so it can work with a receiver.

Care and placement

Place the amplifier on a solid shelf with space above for ventilation. Avoid stacking it under other components that block heat. Switch off or use standby when not in use.
