Best Integrated Amplifiers of 2025 for Audiophile Two-Channel Systems

Integrated amplifiers are having a serious moment in 2025. Today’s designs deliver the kind of performance that used to require full separates, while keeping systems cleaner, simpler, and more approachable.

In our latest video, Scotty G and Nathan from the ListenUp team share three standout integrated amps that impressed us this year. Each one brings something unique to the table, from modern room correction to slimline versatility and true high-end one-box engineering.

Whether you are building your first serious stereo setup or refining an established audiophile system, these integrated amplifiers deserve a spot on your audition list.

Arcam Radia Series: The Sweet Spot of Modern Hi-Fi

The Arcam Radia lineup continues to be one of the most compelling integrated amplifier families available right now. In particular, the Arcam A25+ hits a true performance sweet spot.

With Class G amplification, the Radia series delivers clean, powerful sound while maintaining efficiency and control. We pushed the A25+ with demanding speakers and came away impressed by how effortlessly it held detail and composure.

Another standout feature is built-in Dirac room correction, offering flexibility for real-world listening rooms. Many audiophiles will appreciate having the option to engage it or keep the signal path purely analog.

Rotel DX-5: Slimline Design with Serious Control

Rotel has long been known for consistency, and the Rotel DX-5 continues that tradition in a modern, space-friendly form factor.

This slimline integrated amp is ideal for music lovers who want high-end sound without a full-size component taking over the cabinet. Rotel’s engineering and proprietary parts help deliver excellent control and clarity, making the DX-5 a strong choice for two-channel systems that value simplicity and reliability.

MOON 371 Compass: A One-Box Gateway to High-End Audio

One of the most exciting releases this year is the MOON 371, a true network player amplifier designed to do it all. The 371 is the first piece of the new MOON Compass Series. 

In a single chassis, you get a streamer, DAC, phono stage, headphone amplifier, and 100 watts per channel of Class A/B amplification. The build quality is outstanding, with an all-aluminum enclosure and a 10-year warranty.

This is the kind of integrated amplifier that can anchor an entire audiophile system, whether paired with a turntable, a TV, or serious loudspeakers. For many listeners, the MOON 371 feels like the gateway drug to high-end audio.
