The Integra 9.9 is a very good home theater processor. The Audyssey setup for the speakers works well, in fact it's the best my 5.1 theater system has ever sounded. It's about my 5th or 6th processor. In most things "Digital", it's a winner.
However, I am very heavy into 2 channel audio and to say it's "lacking" in Analog would be an understatement. The good news is that it can integrate nicely with a good Analog preamp. You can setup a channel in the Integra as "Direct" and have the Analog pass through with no processing by the Integra. Only the volume control is active... works and makes a great system if you need both theater and 2 channel.
