Excellent value for price. 4 assignable digital inputs. Multi-zone speaker inputs. Good remote (for one that comes with a unit). Gold plated inputs.

No OSD. Lack of componet video switching (but that would be asking too much).

I recently came across this unit on the classifides section on this site, and I am glad I did. This unit is similar to the 575x, but with better internal componets. Before this unit, I owned the SR7000 and was always troubled on how it sounded with music. Enter the Integra, with its very warm sound and good seperation, now I am content. For DVD's this unit is on par with the Marantz with enough power for small to medium sized rooms. The gold plated inputs help to assure that maximum signal transfer is accomplished. Also, with premium componets inside the unit, it should eliminate for the hum that many Onkyo's expereince. The remote that comes with the unit is very good for a factory remote (However I use a Pronto so I can't say much more about it). I beleive that the retail is somewhere around the 600-700 range and since Integra does not authorize any online retailers that is probably what you will be forced to pay. Still at this price, the Integra is at the head of the class, and I can honestly saw that it is a worthwhile buy.
