I agree with Bosso. All too many people who bought super-receivers a few years ago thinking they were comparable with separates are now buying separates rather than buying another super-receiver. Sometimes as an intermediate step, they buy an outboard amp and use their receiver as a pre/pro. But eventually, you'll probably want separates, if sound quality matters more to you than features. And, not that magazine reviews are that meaningful, but I haven't read any that say a super receiver sounds better than a modern separates system.
