Depending on GOALS, speaker specifics and personal aestetics, you may have a horse race here.
ME? My intent to to construct a PLLXO between pre and main amp(s) and DELEETE the speakers crossover. The amps level control must go, too, after some fiddling with the installed pot. Than I measure and replace with the appropriate resistors.
You can't DO that with the integrated.
Parasound also makes some claims about headroom. I don't know about the integrated in this regard, bur I DO know that my 'd' amp had no such rating. Even though the TOTAL per speaker of my A23s is 400, and the 'd' amp was 500, I'll give the long-term musical power output nod to the parasound. After crossover install? The Parasound could be nearly 3db ahead of the 'd' amp.
I don't think there is a BAD choice here. You just need to keep track of the goal and keep heading in that direction.
Too much is never enough
