Integrated amplifiers refers to an audio device that is mostly used for two-channel stereo sound that incorporates a preamp and a power amplifier. It comes with inputs for various devices like turntable, CD player, or network players. They are also used to provide power to passive speakers since passive speakers don't have their own in-built power supply.

What Are AV Receivers?
An AV Receiver or (Audio/Visual Receiver) like DENON AV Receiver is an amplifier on steroids. Compared to two channels found in regular amplifiers, a receiver has the capability to 5, 7, 11 or even 13 different channels. The device can also handle video, typically via an HDMI connector. It doesn't differ much from amplifiers in terms of appearance - because they both come with big, black boxes. But the difference lies in terms of their power, number of channels, and features. DENON receivers offer ample features like Bluetooth, wireless, room correction, and more.
What Is The Basic Difference Between An Integrated Amplifier and an AV Receiver?
An integrated amplifier is a two-way channel amplifier that is used to power speakers, allows you to select your audio source, and helps control volume. An EV Receiver is an amplifier which comes with an in-built tuner which routes video signals to the desired displays. An EV Receiver can power between 5 to 15 channels, delivering an immersive surrounding sound experience.
All receivers can be considered as amplifiers, but not amplifiers can be considered as receivers.
Why Should You Choose An Integrated Amplifier?
If you want a unit that can handle both audio and video sources for you - then you need an AV Receiver. But if you do need to listen to your turntable or any other Hi-Fi gear, then an amplifier is the best option. An integrated amplifier tends to be smaller. Audiophiles often say an integrated amplifier can transform your soundstage from "OK" into brilliant.
