This category has always been a little bit confusing, so let’s start here: an amplifier provides power and requires a separate preamp for A) controlling that power and B) connecting to other things, like a turntable or TV. An integrated amplifier is an amplifier with the preamp already built-in. And a receiver is an integrated amp that has an AM/FM tuner built-in. Typically, audiophiles prefer separate components provide better control and the best-possible sound. However, today’s receivers and integrated amps not only come with everything you need, they really are excellent at doing what they do. We’re proud to carry a selection of products for every situation and every budget, from leading brands including McIntosh, Yamaha, Onkyo, Integra, and more.
