Upgrading from Onkyo 875 to separates-worth it?


Thinking of upgrading my one year old 875 to a used Integra 9.8 processor and a multichannel amp. Also considering using the 875 as the processor and going with a multichannel amp. Any experience from anyone going with either of those routes? The 9.8s are dropping below $1k used which looks attractive. Would like to hear from anyone going from an 875 to any other processor as well.

Iplaynaked ;
Does the receiver close the circuit to the amps , when not in use , or does it just short to ground in the same way that battery chargers do when not charging a battery but remain plugged in to the wall ? In the case of the battery chargers , they still use (waste) electricity .
Just asking as I have been considering the same set up .

Thank you .
