My First Separate - My impressions

[Fors*]

This thread just hit me over the head with a lot of really good objective reasoning. I have to say that I am just like you were OP say a few months ago when you were looking into having seperates. I have even started a couple of threads in the last couple of days asking about purchasing better receivers to be used as a pre/pro, so I could follow that with an external amp. Maybe this is all folly? I am starting to think that I really do need a better receiver, but then follow that purchase with better speakers and sub. I know I would not want to go thru the hassle of re-selling an amp that I just bought for $700, regardless of the deal I had gotten.

As far as the diminishing returns comment, I am beginning to think that this has a lot more validity to it than I first assumed. I kinda feel like a small lightbulb went off somewhere in my big empy head.

I too want to hear what other highly regarded members have to say about this subject....
