I see you are slipping slowly to a passive position. Well great for you.
What is this thread about?, receivers right? So if "receivers" have wimpy amplifiers in them in comparison to integrated amplifiers it is because they are receivers, and not integrated amplifiers. You made it very clear earlier that you had it out for Yamaha's receivers, now you are shifting to all receivers, aside from a few brands like NAD and Outlaw, which is understandable because they are built on different principles. The NAD and the Outlaw receivers also cost more than receivers with similar features, which also makes sense.
I simply want you to lay it to rest and realize that Yamaha does not make receivers any better or worse than Denon's receivers, or Harman Kardon's receivers, or Pioneer's receivers and so on. I told you numerous times that comparing a Denon "integrated amplifier (orange)" to a Yamaha "receiver (apple)" was not a valid comparison, regardless of the cost or specifications. They aren't comparable, so why do you insist on comparing them?
Congratulations for wasting a huge amount of time.
