Is using a X.1 AV receiver just for stereo bad?


Hello all:

I was wondering if anyone had had luck using a 5.1 or 7.1 AV receiver *just* for two channel stereo?

The values seem to be so much better for HTR, is there a reason not to get a unit like that and only use a fraction of its capabilities since it's cheaper than a S-channel integrated?

Thanks

It is not bad if you like the sound. I used my Anthem 7.1 HT receiver for 2 channel for a few months before buying a dedicated pre.
