Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?

Weakest link?
I just replaced a pair of stand mounted monitors with Heresy III and am loving them.  Sound is big and bold and closest to live I've ever had in my room.   I have had a number of fine standmounted speakers and a sub and the addage there's no repla...
