Maybe, but a lot of people really don't believe that there are audible differences between these AV amplifiers/receivers. I keep trying to make the point that the better the AV amp, the better the speakers will sound.
You are right about that, when I have gone up to the next level in any amplifier range it as always sounded better.
The only time I remember was the sales guy in my hifi shop that really pi**ed me off was when I saved for months to get my Naim CD5 then I got my flatcap, then I was saving for the last parts the Nac 112 and Nap 150, this really broke me for a while, but I wanted it so bad and when I had the Nap 150 in my hands the sales guy turned around and said " you know that the 250 is even better, sweeter treble, bigger bass etc" then when I set it up all I was thinking I need the 250.
So glad I am not like that now that was 8 years ago, amazing the power of suggestion.
