Here is where I think the separates have an edge over the receivers today;
bass management.Most pre/pros give you more flexible bass management, an example being more crossover options than just 80Hz (what most receivers have).
This means if you have full range mains it may sound better to cross them over at a lower frequency than 80Hz to a subwoofer (such as 50Hz or 40Hz), and also create a smoother transition. It also depends on the crossover slope (6db, 12db, 24db) and this can also be an important attribute when matching subs to mains.
Just my rambling thoughts as I also attempt to select the right equipment.

Yes, I am considering separates. Do you have any experience with the Sone TA-E9000ES processor?
Well built, cheap to buy.Sounds quite good as a HT decoder on DD,dts,DPL. Better than a receiver but no match for the real high end processors. No better or worse than the likes of the popular Yamaha DSP-A1 , Denon AVR-5700 and other mid-fi HT gear. Compared to the best the Sony is rather harsh and bright.
Adequate on music. All analog signals are converted to digital, which wouldn't be too bad except the on-board DACS are mediocre.
Lacks a few essential HT features like a separate recording path.
The latest remote still sucks and eats batteries.Overall not bad for the money but strictly mid-fi.
