Rob, you've picked up the main difference between the HTR and RXV series; the RXV has pre-outs on the back which can send unamplified signals for all the channels to separate external amps. There's generally no particularly good reason to do so, however, so this should't be a determining factor in most cases. Your 2400 is an excellent very powerful receiver which also adds features such as YPAO(which in my view should be a determining factor)and variable crossover frequencies(previously fixed at 90Hz). The less expensive 1400 would probably serve you just about as well and fit your budget better.
