hello all
i have been in search for a stereo setup for long.
(music 60% movies 40%-i am satisfied with just stereo for movies)
many members have adviced me to go in for a stereo recievr or an integrated amplifier rather than an AV reciever.
i have been narrowing down my searches, however im a bit confused and have the following questions
(pardon my noobiness)
1. i find that for a given rms value/channel say (50-90rms range) integrated amplifiers turn out to be more expensive than AVR's
e.g a NAD 325 BEE,marantz PM 7002,cambridge 540 are much more expensive than say a onkyo 304,504 , marantz sr 301,4001 etc ,
i mean the avrs pump out almost 100 rms /channel whereas the amps in that price range barely pump out 40-50
this confuses a noob like me.even if the integrated amps are made with slightly better components doesnt that get offset due to the 5.1 AUDIO AND video capabilities of an AVR.
also a noob like me would think that buying an AVR (though my requirment is only steroe )pumping 100 rms would be better than buying an int amp that pumps 50 ( e.g the marantz case)
would it not.
i mean i could drive a floorstander well with 100 rms rather than the measly 50 from the amp?
im confused
why is this cost difference
also why would i be wrong in assuming the italics
please do help
