Two Way Speakers & Integrated Amplifiers, A Conversation

Two way speakers and Integrated amplifiers.

This week’s episode of The Occasional Podcast tackles a subject that is likely near and dear to many an audiophile heart – Two Way Speakers and Integrateds. Why this unlikely combination? Be it space, simplicity or just a starting point for something bigger, many apartment dwellers and entry level newcomers rely on this type of setup to get them where they need to be, sonically speaking.

PartTimeAudiophile Editor-In-Chief Marc Phillips joins the conversation, adding in the expertise of someone who has not only evaluated countless two ways (and integrateds) for PTA, but was also his gateway drug combination of choice starting out as an audiophile – he is probably lucky the Chateau Marmot only has three-way Sonus Fabers and McIntosh separates in the hotel lobby.

Check out the podcast below for all the who, what and why of the combination that can be both rewarding and well… less expensive than some of the bigger counterparts.
