A good integrated, like NAD or Cambridge A500 or Creek 4330, is going to give you WAY more performance in the same price range and comparable to A/V receivers costing 3-4 times more. With an A/V receiver, you're paying for a lot of bells 'n' whistles you don't need for simple two-channel music.

Some people solve this dilemma by having a good but not overpriced A/V receiver (Yamaha, Outlaw) that has pre-amp outputs AND a good integrated. The 5- or 6-channel unit runs their HT rig, then the A/V receiver acts simply as a preamp and leaves the integrated to do the grunt work in 2-channel applications.

Hope this helps and as always YMMV . . .
