Take a look here in your search for seperates:

They have an excellent service department and very similar products, and their cost is less.
Although they can't be auditioned at an audio store, they come with a 30 day trial period, minus shipping of course.
I would also not forget to look at the flagship recievers from Yamaha, Denon, Harmon Kardon, Pioneer, NAD, Sherwood etc..
