No, I just prefer my that flagship speakers get flagship AVRs and separates.
Just like if I were buying external amps anyway, I would prefer to buy an AVP, not an AVR.
Could I see myself just using a flagship AVR, instead of AVP + Amps? Absolutely yes.
I could have a flagship AVR power my 9 speakers and a high power external amp power my 10 subwoofers. Just how my mind works.
