i kinda thought the idea of a receiver is all in one....

granted my 1050 came with a b&k amp(used package deal) but i ran the 1050 alone just to test before i bought & ohhhh baby!pretty stout 65w.i do prefer the warmth of my b&k over the 1050,actually it's been so long,i forget what the 1050 sounds like in 2 channel!
