Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Expensive AVR or sweet pre-amp and discrete amp?

I do not know about the 4806, but my 3805 was not sufficient to run my 80's to what I precieve to be acceptable levels with the 'sweetness' that I was looking for. 3805 was straining at high levels. I ended up pairing it with a stereo amp to get it to play to acceptable levels. I am now extremely happy with my setup.

If I get the choice to do it over again, I would have probably gone the separates route.
