Really? Never had much issue with Integra outside of using the hdmi-sub out for extenders or the occasional firmare update. Plenty with Yamaha. We sell both. Yamaha's biggest issue is the stupid analog input scheme they came up with a few years ago. Makes multi-zone pretty worthless. Our clients often want to listen to the game on the radio and watch it from the cable or sat. No longer possible with Yamaha and their audio1 audio2 audio3 inputs. I guess it is a matter of markets and personal taste. In these parts our clients mostly care about college football and how many game they can "monitor" at once. Plenty of tears when PIP started disappearing from equipment. None from me though :-)

What's a radio?

As for integra, the HDMI went out in my personal 70.1. Sent it in for service, took it out of the box when it returned, 5 minutes same problem. Cost me being able to move it to recoup some of my Yamaha costs.

+1 Yamaha
+1 NAD just wish the T757 had more HDMI inputs and they had a model in between the T757 and T777.

-1 Integra sold it for years and my list of complaints is long. They have cost me a lot of time, money, service calls, and a bunch of unhappy customers. I don't care if it has a 3 yr warranty because I have only had one bad Yamaha receiver in one three yrs.

We had a bad batch of Pioneer receivers (big batch) now nobody wants to sell them. I do like the way they sound but never liked there control.

What model numbers are you referring to? Picking anything over Marantz is a strange statement, so I'd just like to understand what you didn't like better and which units you're comparing.

Part of the problem is probably that I don't have a lot of experience with their stuff. So no matter what model or product it always somehow turns into a hassle. One thing I do like though, is every one I have worked with, had discrete power codes on the remote. So if I had to learn a code, I wasn't stuck with a toggle

So, you are trying to watch on cable and listen to the tuner trhough zone 2 - is that correct? Why not just use the discrete for Tuner for zone 2? What am I missing? If you are talking about the old capability of listening to one source and watching another, I agree that it is too bad that went away. By multi-zone (zone 2, zone 3) should work fine for tuner or other analog sources? What am I missing?

Fantastic sound, no widgets.

ARC will get you pretty close to a professional calibration. HDMI can be updated, keeping the unit current.

Easy setup.

Fantastic sound.

No, TV and radio in the main room.
In your words, capability of listening to one source and watching another.
It is a deal breaker for us here in a heavily NCCA sports driven market.
The most used sources here are cable and FM radio followed by AM radio for baseball and sports talk. It is a shame Yamaha broke this. It has pretty much killed our Yamaha sales.
