...for 2 channel music?
I always thought it was the case that a budget 2 channel amp would easily outperform an AV receiver for stereo music and that anyone looking to use an AV receiver for music should expect massive compromise.
Recently, i have noticed an increasing amount of posts reccommending an AV receiver for a music setup.
I have been using my 2 channel setup (listed below) for movies more and more and am becomming increasingly annoyed with having to leave my seat to adjust the volume so i am considering changing my a400 for something with a remote. I was originally looking into an inexpensive, used 2 channel amp like my pioneer so as not to compromise my music listening, but an AV receiver with its built in DAC and features allowing me to introduce extra speakers at a later date, seems an interesting option if it wouldn't be too much of a compromise.
How would a modern AV receiver compare to my current amp? Are they any better for music than they were a few years ago?
