Initial review of Integra 9.8

[mrspeakers]

The only other unit I checked out was the Anthem. I thought it was a great product, beautiful build quality. I didn't listen to the Lexicon, though I always liked their gear.

I thought in "straight through" mode, the Anthem had better "spatiality" on stereo content, but once Audyssey was turned on the Integra was noticeably better.

My dealer gave the discount. He quoted my a six week lead time, but Integra delivered in ten days.

I run 5.1 because I'd rather have fewer, better speakers than more but of lower quality. I too am space constrained, so quality vs. quantity rules my setup.
