More to life than just speakers?Onkyo vs a power amp..

Posted by shoe on August 27, 2002 at 11:35:29:
Greetings..
I have been obsessed by speakers for the past year, now it's time to move on?
I have an Onkyo tx8511 reciever for stereo only, four channel. Supposed to have heavy duty components inside and be real accurate at reproducing music, ( isn't that what they all say ) Been noticing in the last year that many audio folks, and expensive stereo shops, seem to have amps, and pre amps, and many swear by their tube amps.
Please someone explain to me the advantages of having such a set up rather than just a reciever to power your speakers.
Advantages:
Dissadvantages:
Cost for starting a new system??
Reccomendations..
Thanks
Matt
