There are many reasons for using a preamp and amplifier(s) versus an integrated amplifier or receiver.
In my case, my speakers (Maggie 3.6) need significant power, more than available with a receiver. I am running Mac MC501 mono blocks that make them sing.
I am looking into getting back into vinyl and my tube preamp accomodates that if I make that decision.
Sometimes other components make the choice for you.
