I have a marantz avr in a second system, and it doesn't sound near as good as my main system. I tried the preouts to my amp once and couldn't shut it off fast enough, very bright sounding with little bass. An integrated amp usually has way better ... 
What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines?
I disagree with the two posts above, I have a big krell amp and it definitely performs better on a 10 awg line than it did on a 15 amp 12 guage line.  
Monstrous power cables
Have you ever tried one?
