Thanks guys. Thats a great help. I'll put more emphasis on the speakers on the premis that a good set will get the best out of the amp. As you say, I can always upgrade the amp at a later date when budget allows...
I'm just starting out on the av journey and am wondering what I should spend more on - av receiver or speakers. I assume that poor quality input to good speakers and good quality input to poor speakers will end up with the same result ? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
