 And if the electronics are the same, why not switch video in Audio/Video Receivers or Processors? /troublemaker

LOL!!!! Good One.
The short answer is that the electronics for video switching ARE NOT THE SAME.
The longer answer is take a good look at the specific electronic circuitry, software (drivers) and format interfaces. I think that anyone who is familiar with software, drivers and interface specifications will tell you that it doesn't take much of a difference for the performance to be really screwed up.
That is exactly why you do your video switching in your video gear and let the audio gear do its audio thing.
LOL!

Ah come on Ken.
I've used it a couple of times.
Give it a go.

Well you learn something new every ding dong day eh? Quote:
There's no profound reason to relate bees and knees other than the jaunty-sounding rhyme. In the 1920s it was fashionable to devise nonsense terms for excellence - 'the snake's hips', 'the kipper's knickers", 'the cat's pyjamas', 'the sardine's whiskers' etc. Of these, the bee's knees and the cat's pyjamas are the only ones that have stood the test of time. More recently, we see the same thing - the 'dog's bollocks'.

I see these threads all the time and I'm still not sold that all AVRs are neutral and have the same sound. Like Bren said, difference in ability to drive SPLs alone results in a difference in perceived quality.
But that notwithstanding-these things all seem to have really advanced equalizers that attempt to compensate for your room/speakers. That process simply must impact the sound. I mean, that's what it is intended to do, right?
