Affordable separate vs. high end receiver – which

Just wondering which system would produce the better results:

An affordable separate system like Rotel 1066 + RMB 1075 (120 watts) – approx $2500 (what other brands/models would fall under this price range for separates?)

Or a high end receiver like Sunfire Ultimate Receiver, Denon 5803, Yamaha RX-Z or Pinoeer Elite – approx $2,000+

Speakers driven will be Paradigm 60 or 100 with complementary studio speakers for a 5.1 or 6.1 set-up.

I just thought that the high end receivers would cost the same as the Rotel separates but will give me more power. Any thoughts from you audiophile gurus?

Seems that separates is the way to go for the same amount of cash outlay. I was just really thinking that I might get better results due to higher wattage, better brand name supposedly plus i get a tuner. I am also toying on the idea of getting a rotel 1055 and 1075 amp which will give me all the goodies for the same price or less.

Thanks for the inputs... btw - any thoughts on Adcom and Outlaw? How do they compare with Rotel since they are almost in the same price range.

How about brands that are just a little bit better/more expensive than rotel. Can you suggest any?
