Could it be the Rotel amp?

Just wondering, as that is your amplification source as the Denon 5800 was previously. In any case, the problem may be with either the Integra or the Rotel, so you may not have to return both.

No, it really isn't the amp. I tried the Integra with the previous amplification (Belles 350a for front L+R, Denon for center and surrounds) and noted the same overall characteristics - harsh "electronic" sounding midrange and flat CD-esque soundstage. Now this is only with SACD played via the 5.1 analog input, mind you.

The Rotel is a nice amp, but if I'm not going with separates I would have no need for it. The Belles is a fine stereo amp, the eventual new receiver could handle the center and surrounds.
