I find it interesting that no one, thus far, has come up with any features that a separate pre processor should have that a "standard" receiver doesn't have!

Anyone have further comments?

Bug: I am beginning to think that you had the right idea all along with getting a receiver that had all the processing and switching features that you wanted and then added power blocks for the fronts and center. When you think about it, almost all (or maybe all) modern receivers have pre outputs. Why? Did the "industry" plan for cheap receivers with an easy way to upgrade? Maybe I'm reading/ thinking too much about it?? But, it is something to consider.
