What do you like/dislike about the upper end models? I have been Selling/Installing Marantz for 5 yrs. Not too fond of the 5002 HDMI snafu's. Having to fart around w/ Multiroom Tuner presets by switching main zone to tuner for control defeats the purpose of MR.
Don't shoot the messenger!!

I've been doing Integra for 8 years. Early on they had their problems, but I really like them now. Discretes for EVERYTHING, 3 year warranty, not in distribution, controlled dealership.

Ditto.

The 4.6, 5.8, 6.8 are solid, no issues ever.

Go to the 7.8 and the weight doubles - this is one bad boy!

Haven't done an 8.8 yet, but the reviews may sell this model before you can get one.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

Integra's great! Easy to navigate through the menu to setup and easy RS-232 for programing. Anything from them is good stuff.

Not to answer the question about the Onkyo stuff...

With the Marantz... you can change the settings of the tuner from multiroom. I do it all the time.

The issue is this. If the multi and the main are both on the same band of tuner (i.e FM, AM, XM) Then the main owns it. The second can not change settings on the same tuner. But if one is on FM then the other can control AM or XM.

So.

If the Theater is listening to a DVD.
Zone 2 can be on tuner. AM FM or XM and Have contol of the tuner to direct enter channels like:
"Direct"
"1"
"0"
"1"
"1" to tune FM freq 101.1FM

There are also direct frequnce IR codes for XM in the EXCEL sheet.

I used to install marantz and intergra blows it out of the water. The 5.8 is our best seller. It's a very solid piece. I agree that the discretes are awesome. Say goodbye to marantz if I were you.
You have reached my voicemail. I will be out of the office until you stop calling.

Agree the Integras are great. I recently complained about an audio delay between the theatre and zone 2 but just figured out recently it is a default setting for lyp sync compensation that has to be adjusted in the source adjust menu. Full set of discretes. Most are available in the RTI IR library, though you'll have to try model names before you figure out which ones work with current models.

Did you eliminate the delay or minimize it a bit?

Do you care to elaborate about this? One of the members here just dropped Integra because of this very same issue.
I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.
