Alex, there's nothing to indicate that. Integra is a "prestige" name sold by "higher class" dealers at higher prices. It's generally possible to match an Integra almost precisely with a lower priced Onkyo. Again here, the 22.3 is nearly identical to the 609(which is 100 watts and 7.2, however); for example, both weigh 24.7 pounds(although amplification shouldn't be bought by the pound)compared to 40.3 pounds for the 809. The 22.3 is two steps(809, 709, 609)down, and most significantly has the much less capable 2EQ.
