Why no love for Integra's?

The new Integra DTC-9.8 looks very good on paper. However, you rarely see the Integra brand mentioned on the various forums.

Any of you have experience with this line. I'm considering selling my Arcam AVP-700 and going with this pre, primarily because of the Room EQ that might help in my set-up. However, my Arcam is also very good with two channel audio and I'm worried the Integra might not be so good.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Yeah, no that's true. Njs is right. All the hoping in the world doesn't amount to much. Neither does reading reviews, and taking that as God's spoken word!
Time will tell. But it does indeed look good on paper. Maybe it can be moded??? Hummmmmm

"Like Njs says, people love to express their opinions but often they aren't based on any actual experience."(regalma1)

Yeah, this is VERY MUCH TRUE of audio indeed!
I remember a quote from some multi-millionare guy I read once, which was "The crowd is ALWAYS wrong!" Guess this explains why one well known audio company, that starts with a "B" has been the most successful of all time in selling speakers and stuff! Oh wait! On second thought, THAT MUST BE IT!--Just sell the masses some cruddy sounding hi-fi gear, and advertise
the bejesus out of it in Mothers day Magazine, and Better Homes and Gardens, AND YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!!!!!! What a concept
