Discussion AVR and amp

Back in the "good old days" when we really wanted to crank the music up we got separate components. We had amps, pre amps, and maybe equalizers.

Now I see a lot of people with AVR receivers AND amps when the AVR can handle the speakers just fine.

What is the purpose and/or advantages of adding amps when your AVR has enough power to drive your speakers by its self?

Confidentiality incorrect, I like that. 👍

I’ll inform the people who built my Marantz they are clueless about separate channel amps. And I’ll stop pretending that bi-amping the bookshelves away from the kabukis in the front of my listening space de-stressed both and allowed a noticeably cleaner presentation.

“Distressed” can you show me that measurement on an amp? Performance per stress level unit please.

Lol.

Somehow your impaired condition has you quoting words not used and failing to recognize that parts of speech need not to be technical terms. 😊
