I like apples ...:)
If Devialet is the genesis of this new circle and if we were to extrapolate , then the future will be different and quiet possibly better, making Stenho single box only theory a possibility. The single box approach is nothing new of course and IME has never bettered individual SOTA seperates , is it cost effective ? yes , better ? Never experienced such ....
Akin to having slower laptimes and then Boast about paying less for the tires .. :)

And I like Lattes! (sipping one now...)
I'm not a car fancier but I do love electronics and so know a great deal more about the latter than the former having plied the trade for over forty years from college to retirement. Based on that dubious qualification I can say with confidence that there is no singular answer.
If you give me the least provocation I'll bore you to death with the strengths and weaknesses of the tradeoffs inherent in the two approaches but the upshot is that system design and implementation is everything and that the optimum approach is a function of the environment and application. While there is no blanket answer in a given instance there may be.
At the risk of seeming trite: if your system sounds good and you listen to it a lot and love the experience: it IS good. Now that doesn't mean that it can't be improved, especially with respect to the satisfaction of a single user, but diminishing, albeit hopefully pleasant, returns are the goal. I think most folks on AA are likely already there and that is why we seem so obsessive about minutia. Once satisfaction has settled in it then becomes a matter of tuning for the most joy. Maybe an ackward way to express it but something along that line and I think we all love finding little ways of elevating our experiences even though they were already on a very satisfactory level. Sensory greed? Whatever it is it's fun to do and to chat about with other sonic addicts.

IMO,
Integrateds trade off's are mostly due to the limited space available for the PSU's, a SOTA integrated would have at least 3 PSU's to have the same or similar performance of separates and then there is poor noise rejection due to proximity ...
Most would not be interested in a 120lb integrated ... :)
