The combination of stereo power amplifier + stereo pre-amplifier = separates, meaning there are two separate components... The pre-amp is where your sources(CD player, tuner, etc.) are connected...The pre-amp is then connected to the power amp which is in turn has the connections to your speakers... |

And also, you have to provide more info such as your listening area which will define how much power you will need, your type of music which will define which type integrated or separates will suit your needs(in terms of manufacturer, as each manufacturer has it's own house sound)...these two info will also help you define the speakers you need... And lastly, the most important one, is your budget.... |
