The HK 990 integrated is probably my favorite 2 channel integrated on the market. I always liked the digital in, 2.2 channel, room corrected, digital bass management approach, but I was unable to hear one until recently. I only got a brief listen and the main speakers were unfamiliar, but the overall SQ of the system was outstanding. The bottom octaves sounded right in a way that, for me, seems to require this digital signal processing approach. At the price (under $2k), I think it's a crazy value - particularly if your source material is 100% digital.
BTW, the power amp section is derived from a Mati Otala (Citation) design, FWIW.
If I ever build another 2 channel system, this is likely my choice of amplification.
