Pioneer Elite SC-25 or Integra DTR-50.1 - Which would you chooose and why?

Thread Starter 
I am in the mood for a new receiver.  I have never liked the sound of Denons.  I am no where near any store that carries any higher end equipment.  I have looked at Marantz, Denon, Onkyo, Integra, Pioneer Elite and others.  Based solely upon specs and price, I narrowed my choices down to two; the Elite SC-25 and the Integra DTR-50.1. 

Has anyone heard anything good or bad about either?  Pricewise, they are somewhat similar.  The Integra I think has the better video scaler and DAC's. 

Just let me have your opinions.

Thank you,
Todd Ener

I guess speaker matching matters here I heard integra years ago and liked it
I use to have an elite dvd player and didn't.

I love marantz
I'd go with integra between the 2,

I've had 2 denons over the years and really liked them. My last one was a 2307ci. It wa a great reciever. I wanted to upgrade so I went to my audio/video specialist store to inquire. They said they stopped carrying Denon due to the fact that the big box stores started carrying it. They said that in their opininion it washed away the quality of the products they sold. They Showed me the integra. I ended up buying an Integra DTR-50.1. I've only had it for a about a week or so and I love this thing!!! Went form 100w/channel to 135w/channel. 7 hdmi inputs. The awesome thing is that I can run hdmi video signal to my tv while listening to digital audio at the same time!!! My denon could'nt do that. The video conv. on this reciever is awesome as well. I loved my Denon, but very exicted about this purchase.
