Cheap receiver + amp vs Expensive receiver


For HT amplification, which direction will be the best bang for the $?

a) Cheap receiver + separate power amp

b) $$$ receiver (say 3 times the cost of a cheap one)

The real question is really about if the pre/pro/DSP of the "cheaper" receivers are comparable to the $$$ ones?

Think about this: whenever you've purchased something/anything, how many times have you said to yourself "I wish I had spent a little more for better quality"?
Then think about how many times you've said "I wish I had bought the cheaper lower quality model instead"?

The bitterness of a poor quality purchase remains long after the satisfaction of low price has been forgotten.
You get what you pay for.
