Being Integra Dealers I can say that you should take the opportunity and jump on it before it goes away!

We were Denon dealers before what was a bit of an arduous process to get to Integra (they are very careful about who they select). Denon is widely distributed by AVAD and this puts you in direct competition with a lot of new dealers who can't sell themselves and feel that the best tactic is to give away good product. It also means that any customer with an internet connection can buy it from some bozo who knows nothing more than model numbers and feels that 8 points is a worthwhile margin (you know, the same a----le who tells the client to pick your brain for product selection and then call him back for a whored out price).

Integra is great with training, focus groups, and trade show hospitality and the Research product is nothing short of fantastic. We had their speaker designer sit down with us for a meeting and get our input on what they should do when manufacturing in-walls. Integra is the same compnay but has a much different approach than Onkyo... one that seems to care about the custom installer

I just hope you're not in Washington State... we kind of like the limited distribution up here!
