And I just ordered the EAD TM8000 and should get it this week. I was interested in upgrading my 2CH sound since I have a 2CH/HT combo. It auto sensing 2CH input and switches automatically. With my Marantz, I have to manually select 2 CH when playing music.
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?
