Actually I am trying to get away from separates. My gear is about 17 years old. I was also thinking that I could take the separates to work for some better sounds at work. Just have to buy four small speakers for the shop. Unless my receiver fails, it will not be replaced for a VERY long time. I will not be upgrading as I would for the home theatre system. It is just two channels going hard.
I do like the idea of the long warranty. A similarly powered NAD unit is 50% more! Unless you just get an integrated amp.
Do you think the reliability will be an issue when going to a three in one unit?

Thanks for the input!
