[QUOTE="Gerhard, post: 1127098, member: 388"] I will not go into the audio quality/differences of receivers vs processors/power amps, but in my case, I needed the separation so that I can inject my own processing. I am using miniDSP modules to create active speakers. The miniDSPs allow A LOT of flexibility and tailoring of sound. This, and the fact that I can pump >120W continuous, into 8 OHMS on all 9 my amplification channels, concurrently, :LOL: at very low distortion. My 2 channel power amp weighs more than many 11 channel receivers (not count class D) so there is a lot of power and headroom. This is an expensive route though since the cheapest AV processor ATM in SA is the 7706 AFAIK and it is around R70k. Add power amps to that and you're way into the 6 figure mark. [/QUOTE]
