Top 3 Integrated Amps We’d Buy in 2025

Integrated amplifiers in 2025 are seriously on another level. In this segment, Scotty G and Nathan break down our favorite new integrated amps and why they stood out in real-world listening—clean power, speaker control, smart features, and how these pieces fit into modern audiophile systems.

We cover:
• Arcam Radia Series (including the “sweet spot” A25+, plus why the A35 is worth a look), with Class G amplification and built-in Dirac room correction (use it, or turn it off if you’re a purist).
• Rotel DXE-5, a modern slimline integrated amp with the consistency Rotel is known for.
• MOON 371 Compass, our “one-box” obsession: streamer + DAC + phono stage + headphone amp + integrated amplifier—the kind of component that can kickstart a true high-end two-channel system.

If you’re researching the best integrated amplifier, building a two-channel audiophile setup, or choosing the right amp for your speakers and room, this one’s for you.
