[QUOTE="Orcish75, post: 1107102, member: 21448"] Yup, I use my Onkyo AVR for casual listening in stereo mode, it also has a pure audio and direct mode. (Both the same really, just the pure audio mode switches off the display on the AVR). If I use the amp built into the AVR, the sound is acceptable for casual listening, certainly nothing special. It does however improve by a large margin when I use the AVR pre-outs with my HK Citation 7.1 power amp. The power amp has huge current capability and drives the speakers so much better, particularly at lower frequencies. I have to say though, that using my NAD C320 as a preamp driving the HK power amp still sounds better than using the AVR as a preamp, it's not a big difference, but it is noticeable. [/QUOTE]
