When I was reciever shopping over a year ago I had an opportunity to audition recievers from Denon, Pioneer, and Integra/Onkyo. I found that in each price category the Integra sounded fuller, and "warmer" while still retaining the clarity that I was looking for. I am aware that this may not help in a "side to side" compairison of the two models you are looking at, but I can tell you this: when the dust settled, I went home with an Integra 6.2, and am very happy with the decision.
