I have separate audio and video systems (the main speakers are shared and I just swap the speaker cables from one power amp to another).
I have a fairly decent Marantz AV preamp and have listened to stereo through it. It is pretty decent but it still isn't up to what my stereo only system can put through the same speakers.
Assess what your priorities are and go with your ears.
