Should I get an integrated amp or AVR

[Rdm3000]

I’m not really sure what’s the difference other than one can hook up home audio for tv and stuff like that. If I just want to stream music and listen to vinyl should I just get a high powered integrated amp for a Kef R3 meta and a sub ? I feel the integrated amps feel more expensive for the type of power I need .
The ones I looked up are like 3k and I can get some AVR that are strong for like 2200, which is expensive but not as expensive as the stronger integrated amps ? I’m so confused. Are integrated amps better for just listening to music ?

If you feel like you need a lot of power and don't need the features of an AVR, I would get a Wiim Ultra for streaming, bass management and the like, and pair it with a Buckeye NC502MP.

You don't mention multi-channel.

I'd prefer a wiim amp pro. It's one device to buy and it has HDMI so you can connect your TV and still run your speakers. You'll need a seperate phono stage probably.
