G-OK, but I'm not "Frank", although I AM candid and forthright. I'll drop you a line this weekend.HARVE 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Msf - FWIW - sonically I don't think there is a difference between the 80.2 and 80.3, which means there would be no audible advantage in waiting for a 5509. Instead, since this is a "shot", you might pick up an 80.2 used at a lower price, or maybe... 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
To be honest, I have no idea how the 2-channel from my 80.2 sounds. I also have no desire to try it, unless it would help you guys out, but then again it gets very subjective, so not sure it would do any good. The obvious answer is that it would d...

BTW - plenty of bass from the 5 speakers, run as "full". Floor vibrates WITHOUT the SUB!! Easily able to supplement with low-bass from sub hooked up to 2-channel preamp as needed. Best of both worlds, w/o switches or brain damage. 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
Installed the Integra DHC-80.2 to replace my DTC-9.8. Money well spent. The sound is noticeably better (actually pretty amazing) as well as the room calibration/steering by the Audyssey 32 and other advanced DACs, etc.. Its close to a night and da...

Ordered 80.2 today - will hopefully have it by Friday. Was getting a headache trying to reinvent the wheel... :-) Thanks all for your assistance.

Yo Rick - Happy New Year. It would be a good thing if you returned my calls.... :-)Harve 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
I'm probably just going to run the sub through my 2-channel pre to avoid having to set my full-size front and rear speakers to "small" in the Integra. Seems like the path of least resistance and brain damage; also don't have to worry about changin...

Ridom - good idea. That was 1 of the things I was going to investigate. My sub is a Velo DD-15+ and I'm pretty sure it has that capability. Thanks again. 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
I agree about the switches - back to basics and trust my ears - that has always worked well for me... :-) 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
It sounds like I would still have the same subwoofer issue with the 80.2/3, absent some sort of a switch. Not sure who makes reasonably-priced audiophile quality switches, but I guess that would be my first step?

Kal- Thanks very much for your responses. Would I not have this same bass configuration issue with the 80.2/3? I hope you are saying my sub will be recognized despite not being directly connected to the Integra by the 80.2/3.? 
Processor upgrade from Integra 9.8?
I'm not a fan of any sort of "switches" in an audio chain - any suggestions? My theory was to just carry over the sub settings manually when I re-connect the sub to my 2-channel preamp. Thanks.Also, did you see anything new under $5K that competes...
