Not only are Integrated Amplifiers more practical, they generally are also faster. You can compare it with the difference between a car with either 4 cylinders or 6 cylinders. The car with 6 cylinders will run more smoothly, the car with 4 cylinders will run faster when pulling up. All depends of course on the design and the power supply built in. I am using an Accuphase 406V, specifying a +200W per channel. The power supply is really capable of sustaining this power level, so my amplifier is noways falling short. I must add however that my listening room is rather small (4m h*3mM l*3m h), which of course does not require the same power levels as bigger rooms
