I’m not, Grrrrrrr. ��

As for a suggested integrated amp - first off it depends what you want to feed into it, and possibly the type of loudspeakers you want it to drive. For example, do you want it to;

Have its own input for a record deck ?
If so, should it have an input for a moving magnet (high output) or moving coil (low output) cartridge ?
If it doesn’t have one then a separate phono pre-amp is needed.

Do you have a ‘line level’ source to connect, such as a CD player or streaming device like a Squeezebox Touch ?
And how many inputs to you need ?
And should those inputs be analogue or digital ? Some amps, like the little SMPS and my larger Lyngdorf can have their own inbuilt DAC (digital to analogue converter). If, for example, you have a CD player that only has a digital output you may need a separate DAC if your amplifier only has analogue inputs.

And some speakers are fussier on their requirements than others, or less efficient (i.e they need more power). For example many smaller amplifiers may baulk at the prospect of driving a pair of electrostatics which are often very difficult ‘loads’.

Once you. Are sure what you want to feed into the amp, and how many inputs (and their type) you need, and which speakers you want to drive (now and perhaps in the future) it will be easier to look at options.

so, they are the same just spelled wrong

Kind of like Intergrated instead of Integrated?

[Macca]

Probably best to use both integrated and intergrated on your listings so that it can be found in searches by people who can spell and by people who can't.
