  depends mostly on how much power you want and/or need. Most of the time, especially for HT, a reciever is adequate. There are a few films where the audio demands are such that a largish separate amps might help. In fact, I think this may be more and more the case. O recently rented "Hart's War". More a suspense than an action adventure movie. However, the couple of explosions were totally over the top -- just about the most intense I've seen on a DVD. I have an EQ/RTA btween my reciever's pre-outs and a Carver amp. Not only were the explosions loud, the peak octave was 24Hz with 20Hz nearly as high. I doubt few reciever's could have dealt with the current requirments for that.

  Separates offer a greater degree in flexibility when you decide you don't like that swell tuner or that wimpy power amp. And since there is less stuff to cram onto roughly the same size chassis, cooling is more efficient as well. The downside is more complexity and interconnections between components, adding to the cost.
