Okay...I grew up surrounded by music, playing in several bands in junior high, high school, and college.
My music teacher was very much into building audio kits, Dynaco.
In my adult years, I still play musical instruments, and attend concerts on a frequent basis.
So, that was my intro to stereo. Separates. Pre-amp, power amp, and tuner. That is still my philosophy today, that separates will achieve a level of sound quality that an all in one reciever will not match.
Example...my theater has all separate amps for all channels. A B&K mono-block for the center, with B&K plus Emotiva stereo power amps for the remaining channels. Note: we would have had all B&K, but they went out of business, dang it!
As you know, our AV processor is the Yamaha CX-A5200.
I am willing to wager that the sound with the above audio components will surpass the quality of a single receiver, especially when passages require a lot of reserve power (headroom).
This thread is closely related to another one here, can you hear the difference between amps? We all know how different speakers are.
Am I wrong? Am I right?
What say you?
