Coming at this from a wife's perspective, she probably just doesn't want something that looks ugly or like a typical audio component staring back at her. I get it. In this vein, I'd look at the Devialet 120 or Micromega M100, both of which are available here now. While they are still 15" - 17" wide, they are only about 1.5" to 2" high, respectively, and they are both unobtrusive, attractive, and do not look like traditional audio components. And, most importantly, I think both may actually provide sonic improvements over your Halo Integrated. Best of luck.
Integrated amplifier search
I’m currently using a Parasound Halo Integrated. The rest of my system consists of Clearwave Definition Be loudspeakers, VPI Traveler turntable, and Parasound T3 tuner. Most of my critical listening is done from my iPhone into the DAC of the Parasound.
i very much enjoy the Integrated, but I’m curious if there is something in a smaller package that offers the same functionality and quality as the Parasound. For a while, I looked carefully at the Peachtree Nova 150. It’s intriguing, but I’m concerned I won’t maintain the level of sound quality I have now.
Any thoughts on other Integrateds I should consider?
