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.

I'm on the waiting list for 950/770 but in the mean time considering receivers. At one point was thinking the Integra 9.1 would be the unit to make me happy (auditioned the speakers I bought on it) but lately have been thinking the Denon 5803 would be better although have not heard it. This tentative conclusion is based mostly on the review in Stereophile (its for the 5800 but I'm assuming the 5803 is as good or better sounding). In this review specific reference is made to comparisons between the Integra 9.
