We like watching operas on Blue-ray, and listen to a lot of classical music. So I thought an AV receiver might be an interesting option when up-grading our hifi system. But I understand that, in terms of sound, AV receivers cannot normally compete with stereo amplifiers -- unless one digs deep into his pockets. This makes sense, but how deep do you need to dig to get an AV receiver that can produce stereo sound that can compete with a decent stereo amplifier? For instance, in terms of stereo sound, are Cambridge Audio's CXR120 and CXA60 comparable?
