Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anybody has tried it or thought of trying it.What i mean of course is,if your speaker budget is say $5,000 for all 6 speakers,what about spending all $5,000 on a pair of high quality fronts.Then instead of an a/v reciever,with the compromises that entails,you could use a good quality 2 channel integrated amp.You would not have surround sound,but your system would sound very,very good.You could even try tube power if you wanted.
Any thoughts or ideas?
