INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor


I'm a 2-channel music guy, who is about to take the plunge into his first surround rig.

Based on the feature set and functionality that I desire, my local dealer has steered me toward Integra's 80.3 processor for the hub of this sytem.

I have no experience with surround processors or Integra and am looking for some general feedback.

Are Integra's processors reliable? Good Performers? Easy to use? Priced fairly?

I realize that the 80.3 is brand new, replacing the 80.2.

I'd love to hear from current or past owners of the 80.2, or any of Integra's processors/receivers.

In this $2500+/- price point, is the Integra processor a good investment?

If you've had problems or found other brands to be a ***significantly*** higher value, please chime in.

If owning an Integra processor or surround receiver has been a good experience, I'd love to hear that too.

Thank you.

I have an Integra DHC 80.2, and, after years of good service it has suddenly stopped passing any sort of output signal to any of the outputs.  I imagine it is just broken, and i have to weigh the repair costs with replacing it, but, given the complexity of the settings, is it possible i have just changed something that could have this effect?  The muting switch does not appear to be the problem...
