Whats the general consensus for when it's better to buy separate pre and power? with $10k budget, $15k etc?
It really depends. Different brands have different ideas about this. In many markets, integrated amplifiers are simply called amplifiers.
In many parts of the US, $1M will buy a 3000 sqft house. In some places like Hong Kong, the same amount will barely get you a 300 sqft apartment. When there is such a disparity on how space is valued, one an expect diverse views on how space should be used.
Integrated amplifiers are more space efficient. They may be less powerful but smaller spaces also need less amplification.
It follows that you can find more interesting integrated products from Asian brands like Teac/Esoteric, Technics, etc.
