EAD TheaterMaster 8000p vs Integra Research RDC-7

I'm almost closing a deal in a Integra Research RDC-7 for around $3.000, but I got a proposal for a EAD TheaterMaster 8000p for $4.000. I'm not convinced that I should spend $1.000 more for a processor with less features than the Integra, such as component video switching, dts-es, plII, balanced outuputs for all speakers...

EAD's dealer keep telling me that the TheaterMaster sounds better in 2-ch music than the Integra and that it also has better components inside. I still not convinced, but maybe you can help me.

What do you think? Should I get the Integra or spend $1.000 more in the EAD? Did you have the chance to compare both units?

Hi,

I dont know if this will be of help but I own the RDC-7 and am very very pleased with it (never listed to the EAD). It seems to me that the Integra has all that you can think of and is also future proof (which was very important to me).

The Integra is a very fine unit and I dont think that you will be disappointed with it as it is an excellent unit for the price (and probably more). I like it better than the Krell HTS to which I have previously listened.
