Hi I am currently thinking about replacing my old stereo amp - Cambridge A5 Integrated Amp that has 60 watts per channel , with a Sony STR-DH800 or Sony STR-DG820.

As I am looking to upgrade to a surround sound ultimately, would music sound better on this AV receiver played through CD player, or streamed through Iphone etc..as my stereo amp is so old.

many thanks

DrizztDan,

An integrated amp/stereo amp is optimised for music while an AV amp is optimised for movies - that's what they are made for.

Expect compromises when you expect the AV amp to perform both functions, i.e. with music as oppossed to a dedicated stereo amp.
