A/V Receiver or Separates


I'm interested in handling audio...video is handled by universal player and tv. Looking to buy second-hand. Need to have 5 to 7 channels, phono amp, tuner, and headphone jack. Should I get an a/v receiver or separate pre/pro, amp (and phono amp/headphone jack)?

Looking to spend about $1500 (including shipping).
Have been seeing Lexicon RV8 (A/V receiver) and Lexicon MC8 (pre/pro).

I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have.

If you just listen to Rock a AVR is all you need, for acoustic music esp. jazz and classical ,separates.
