Integra DTR-8.8...

[bacot11]

I have owned an Integra 8.8 for almost 6 months now. Well I owned an integra 8.8 for 3 months until it started having problems so I replaced it, and have had the new one (same model of 8.8) since I replaced it. I really like the new reciever when it works, but I hate the damn thing when it doesn't. I always have to worry about heat. I have even gone as far as mounted a fan on my theater rack. It works most of the time, but the reciever will still shut off during movies with more vibrant soundtracks. 2500 dollars of supposed bullet proof power for nothing. I have never even turned the volume over 3/4. Its Rediculus. On top of all that their customer service is crap, and the autherized dealer I went through are also idiots.

Sorry for the rant but I needed to get that out. SO to get right down to it I am looking for a replacement. I am also selling the Integra, and it is in mint condintion. If you have a theater where heat will never e an issue then the integra will be perfect for you. Back to the replacement. I am looking for a high end to flagship reciever worthy of replacing the integra. Of course it needs to have ample power and not be inclined to overheat. I am interested in the RX-Z7.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.
