I sincerely agree with the fact that using a separate amplifier like B&K makes the system sound totally different. To test the theory I took some of my own sample CD’s and DVD’s to the local Tweeter store that sells B&K. I asked them to play the same song on a Yamaha, Denon, Sony followed by a B&K separate set up; the difference in sound for music is night and day, even though the same speakers were being used. I am not aware of how to technically evaluate a amplifier and compare it to a cheaper one but in a layman’s term there is a significant difference in the quality of sound.
I have to be honest that I didn’t notice a huge difference in HT but am sure the difference exists as I didn’t test the DVD’s for a long period of time.
