Me too i had two separate systems (an audio with amp/cdplayer and an A/V with receiver/dvd/sb3) but i gave up the audio part when i purchased a modern receiver : the difference in quality is really not worth it anymore : I observe more differencies by getting better speakers (my previous ones, i mean ;)) or dacs than spending the same money in amps and cd players. Let apart the complexity of all these separate boxes.
