presumably I Loose something by not having a separate amp?
Well, you lose a box cluttering up your tiny listening room 😀
Yes, there's a reason why high end systems use separate boxes for everything. You might get a slight audio improvement at your budget by going for an integrated amp and passive speakers, and that route is easier to upgrade later. It's up to you to decide whether you want minimalist but inflexible or cluttered and hackable, I don't think there's going to be much in it from the listening chair ab initio on your budget.

Cool. Let's say I'm in on the P1. The Plus is 'plug and play' directly to the speakers(?) But presumably I Loose something by not having a separate amp? And if I'm following, the speakers need to be 'active'. (I do not love the aesthetics of the Rega speakers) Do not love. Thanks, this has been super useful. Happy enough to accommodate wires.
