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.
