I see your point here. My desired solution is more than what is considered the classic integrated amp. But why put a number of how many channels an integrated amp can have? Yes, it's in the realm of home theatre, but I think it would be a consumer-friendly product, function wise.

What I'm really after is a complete amplication solution that doesn't have the radio/phono/tape circuits which I consider unnecessary or redundant. Instead of spending money on those functions, throw that into the video switching. This would represent a unitary solution in one chassis, with one remote control. Maybe the best way to explain what I'm after is a Denon-quality A/V unit without the receiver. I'm sure Outlaw could make such a unit of equal quality and features. And I just gotta have the equalizer. Yep, you're right in saying it's going to make cost an issue (and the quality of most equalizers isn't good), but I really think it would be a unique and useful addition. Only Outlaw would have it! That's the secret of successful marketing; a unique selling proposition.

Thanks to all for your views!
