From separates to reciever?

I've gone from separates to an integrated amp, but never back to a receiver.

I also have gone from separates to an integrated amplifier. If this is a 2 channel audio system, I would strongly suggest an integrated amplifier. In my home theater system, I am using the Ayre AX-7e integrated amplifier and not a receiver. If your single system is being used for 2 channel audio and home theater, I would still recommend an integrated amplifier. I suggest you listen to some units but I believe you will get better sound quality from the integrated amplifier.

stick w/ separates.

thanks all, the emotive umc-200 is the processor i'm getting. after all the research it's had to go backwards. the receivers with pre-outs all are priced around $800-$1000. the emotive is only $600.

Is there an integrated amplifier with HT connectivity and codecs?

Going to a receiver I'd be shopping for quality room correction and amplification.
