Review on Integra 3.4

[Kishore0416]

Hi All,
Hope you are doing fine. Need an advice.

Is Integra 3.4 good for both turntable music and movies?

Integra really a premium brand compared to Denon , marantz, pioneer and onkyo , if yes....why ?

It is a brand of the Pioneer/Onkyo group, traditionally (before Pioneer) the installer version of Onkyo. It will work fine.

I bought recently one to replace a Denon X3500H. I wanted to give Dirac live a try to compare it against Audissey XT32. After running theDirac live measurements with a Umik-1 mic, I noticed two things. First, at the same volume on 0-100 scale, Integra sounds much softer. Probably there is a difference of about 10db. Second, there is a big difference between dialogue and loud sounds. I know Integra doesn't have the dynamic EQ and volume from Audissey but I didn't expect that much of a difference.
Any suggestions?
