Denon is not perfect, but they certainly do the job well enough. I would have said Marantz too (same company), but once I learned in practice the value of a half-decent Audyssey implementation, when I choose to use it, I could not choose their offerings in the same price range. At the time anyway, oughta check up what they're doing right now. I wish Integra would truly acknowledge their units are only good for digital sources, and design their boxes appropriately (see Denon). Look like late-70s/80s designs when all switching was analog. Who doesn't use a remote to do stuff 95% of the time with a pre-pro these days?
The Denon pre-pro was ~$7k in Canada when I went shopping last time. Besides that I'd have to rearrange my house to fit it in :), that seemed a bit much. Now I know better, I would be very happy with it, based on that the cheap substitute has acquitted itself so well. [I don't put analog signals into my digital pre-pro, so they don't matter to me.]
