While many AV fans are convinced that a new amp or pre-pro will improve the sound it is much more likely that speakers will change the way your system sounds to a much larger degree. As long as the amp has enough oomph to get the speakers to nirvana levels all else being equal the rest is ones and zeros.
I agree somewhat with your comment. However,it has been my experience with a multitude of pre/pros that they have their own sonic signatures. If you compare them with the same amp and speakers,there are differences to be heard.
