RE:Good point! However, how much are interconnects limiting factor in separates?

"then the question is, why hasn't this less-is-more concept [integrated amplifiers] caught on in the supposedly performance-oriented high-end audio industry?"

I long ago went with the seperate power-amp and pre-amp for the simple reason that they made managing the system over time easier. The most important thing about the power amplifier is mating well with the particulars of the speakers. The most important thing about the preamp is accomodating all of the desired sources whose characteristics tend to shift relatively rapidly over time.

Having two boxes with a simple, standard interface between them has proven to be an effective solution for me.
