    Krell? how about the cheap seats?
    Emotiva has a two channel amp for sale for


    250.00$


    Thats Dixie papercup territory. What, are the circuit boards made out of
    CHINESE drywall?
    Cant go wrong with that price, five 60$ cash advances at WALMART AND i AM there.
    I have a nice new receiver, and the amps are sufficient, but I am tired of one lung
    receiver amps, this is the the eazy route to seperates.
    DOESNT matter if it has the lifespan of a pornstar, can't go wrong at that price,
    as long as Sandra Bullock doesnt come across as sounding like Donald Duck.:1:

    So you pulled the trigger?
    How do you like your new Integra?

    Krell has never been about the cheap seats.

    i LOVE IT.
    Last time I had a fully integrated system with video switching, etc, the video was component and SVHS. Now I have one component, four HDMI, AND ITS GREAT.
    The Integra was 850 on sale (from 999) and I couildn't afford the new ones.
    Integra has moved upscale bigtime.
    A new 70.1 is EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS, but it does have the reon video proc.
    The 50.1 is around 1400, but not much different than the 6.9 2009 model I purchased.
    And maybe I MISSED IT, but no multichannel on the new models.
    What with SACD and DVDAUDIO going t*ts up, and most BLU players with HDMI, they figured they didnt need it anymore.
    My 6.9 will make a great preamp when I plug an amp into the front left/right.
    It sounds pretty good now, but at the price for the emotiva I just have to try it, as soon as I get the scratch.
    Meanwhile the bi-amping is bridging the gap.
    INTEGRAS arent your usual receiver, very quite, no crosstalk, etc, more finished than there onkyo cousins.
    Peeps just didnt want a fancy HT and have an el-cheapo Onkyo as the nerve center,
    hence the Integra.
    BUT THEIR PRICE IS MOVING UP TO MATCH THEIR NAME, mores the pity.:1:
