So being an A/V receiver automatically makes everything sound the same? Are you saying no dynamic range. Maybe the reason they do to you is that you haven't listened to any of the nicer ones from Denon or Yamaha without bose speakers. There has been a huge improvement in receivers and for a lot of people, expense, house size make it impossible to have more than one system for them and the family. I have my Yamaha paired up with some older B&W speakers and have had some pretty knowledgeable musicians give it rave reviews. They were people that I'd truly consider to be audiophiles and they were very surprised that it was a receiver instead of pre amp amp setup. Maybe if they would have seen the system before hearing it would not have gotten such good reviews. :0 -- Nonreality *-If the rule you followed brought you to this, what good is the rule.-* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47395 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
