Hello all, please help me with desision to buy separate units ( Sunfire Theater Grand IV + 5 x 200 w amlifer) or Sunfire Ultimate receiver - 7x200 w; Because it is a great difference in money. My question is more about the sound quality, because flexibility as I understant is better with separate units. I use Infinity Kappa 600 in front.
Thanks

This very topic was discussed a day or so ago on avsforum. If i recall correctly, the consensus was that it is essentially a toss-up and the Ultimate Receiver should be chosen if space and size and weight is a concern it all with having all the separates.

The UR is essentially a TGIII with 7 200w/ch amps. The new UR is supposed to released near the end of the year and will bring its pre-amp up to the level of the TGIV.

Receivers tend to generate a higher noise floor than seperates.

The biggest advantage to seperates is the upgradeability path. I've got amps that are over 20 years old. These days, the preamps are good for about 4-5 years before there's something that needs to be upgraded.
