you might try moving in stages by adding a separate power amp and using your avr as a pre--almost all mass market avrs benefit from external amping. you can always get a separate pre later.
Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers
Hi,
I am sure this topic had been discussed exhaustively. I am new to this arena looking for some help to upgrade my Onkyo AV Receiver (135 w/channel). I am debating whether to the AV route or the AMP/Preamp combo. Naturally, I understand that I get what I pay for.
Would appreciate some inputs and suggestions regarding:
1. AMP/PREAMP combo route -
2. AV route
I am not looking at a huge budget but a decent one.
Thanks in advance
