[/B] The 'receiver market' is a scam. A simple thing like RCA preouts should be standard even on the cheapest receivers, yet they are not. They make many models with more features as you scale up in price to milk the consumer for more money. So.. lets say you want preouts, then you need some other esoteric function, you might only get this in the higher priced models.. the power ratings natural scales up too ... If I want bare bones features with preouts, I will buy a medium grade reciever with ok power ratings and use an external amp if I have a demanding install. If I want esoteric features with preouts but still plan to use external amplification for my demanding install, then I might be force to buy a $1k+ receiver and guess what? It also has a higher power rating that I don't want. Solution? Buy a dedicated preamp / processor... Guess what?
