I feel that Cwlondon is completely out of line with his attack. In the future however, Hifisoundguy, I would advise you to use a question mark in the heading of your post rather than within your post. The Dussun V8i is a very good integrated amplifier. I auditioned it and it is definitely one of the best buys in audio. It is a little to the warm and smooth side but definitely a bargain for it's power and build quality. If it had separate pre-outs to connect a subwoofer I would have kept it.
