    Good list. Surprised there was no Cambridge Audio or Audiolabs on this list. They are both top recommendations for anyone looking for a good integrated under $1500. But, I realize you can't list them all..but these are SO popular and as good or better than some mentioned here. Anyway, thanks for the video.

    I almost went to Rotel, but my bank account convinced me to go to Cambridge Audio. Matched with a good Audio-Technica direct drive turntable, I'm pleased with it.

    For a small or modest set up you cant beat ROTEL, also if you wanted more power and have pre-outs those Rotel Amps are easy on the eyes for sure! ROTEL two thumbs up for sure

    What a great list. The NAD 316BEE V2 is proving it's flexibility and longevity. You bring the sources and the DAC and it does the rest. It can be a great first amp, and in some ways, it can be all you need in a hi-fi listening space for life. And the Arcam! It's got a few flaws, but it is also an amplifier that can last a lifetime. Great case design.

    Hi great informative video, I ts a shame that Rotel omitted the sub output, having just one set of speakers I can understand but they gone way from their standard of having of 2 sets of spkr o/puts . It’s great now have Dac built in as well of digital inputs Regards mark

    T'would be a kindness to mention that the Marantz Stereo 70s has HDMI 2.1.
    This way one can attach various game systems, and get maximum visual acuity, with your 2.2--stereo with two subs.

      Arcam A15
      Audiolab A6000

      Yamaha R-N600A
      Maybe I will choose Wharfedale Linton for the speakers.

    Mancano i veri e migliori concorrenti, come il Cambridge Audio CxA81 MK2 il Rotel A14 MK2. Non ha senso il rotel A11 che costa circa la metà . Queste scelte sembrano fatte con l'intento di mettere in evidenza determinati prodotti inglesi.

      I live in Europe and own and have owned several of these brands. For some reason Americans think that What Hi-Fi magazine and others are about the truth, but we should believe our ears. I prefer American and Japanese electronics. With few exceptions, the 'Made in England' label has been all about marketing for decades.
