I have one perfect, as new, demo black Wyred 4 Sound STi-500 integrated amp for sale. It will come with the 3 year factory warranty.
The STI-500 uses the highly reviewed $1500.00 ST-500 balanced stereo power amplifier with a slightly scaled down version of the $2000.00 STP/SE balanced preamplifier on a single chassis. The amp puts out 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 550 watts into 4 ohm loads. It is fully stable into 2 ohms loads.
In the Positive feedback review they summed up with:
"I went into this review assuming that a Class D amplifier would be sonically about as far from my tube equipment as I could find. That assumption proved to be totally wrong, at least in the case of the STI-500.
I found the Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 to be a wonderful reproducer of music. It offers superb soundstaging, terrifically tight and deep bass, and a lovely treble. It's reproduction of the midrange, specifically female vocals, differs slightly from what I am used to hearing—but only ever so slightly. This has left me wondering if much of what I have heard as "richness" from my tube equipment may, in reality, be distortion and/or noise. At this point, I am not sure."

Couple the ST-500 amp with a superb passive/active preamplifier in one box and you have the STI-500 integrated amp. All at only $1995.00. My demo is like new and available for $1750.00 + freight.
The remote controlled STI-500 integrated has remote phase switch as well as balanced control. It also has a home theater multichannel pass thru and loop thru capacity for an external processor. There are 4 sets of RCA inputs and one set of balanced inputs. There is also a set of RCA outputs to run a subwoofer. It also offers RCA to balanced conversion when RCA inputs are used.
All this with California build quality with a 3-year factory warranty.
How can we offer so much for so little? Wyred 4 Sound only sells Internet Direct with no dealers. We remove the full 40-50% dealer profit margin and sell directly to the customer.

Sonics rival those of the separate components with 90% of the sonics of the Wyred separates at only 66% of the cost.
Bass is extended and tight. Transparency is superb and dynamics are clearly the leader in this price range. There is no brightness in the midrange which is exceptionally neutral. High frequencies are extremely smooth due to the unique all discrete input buffer stage used in the amplifier as well as the . This integrated is designed to compete with separates selling for 3-4 times its cost. The amp alone has been reviewed as doing that by itself.
