    pre amp-amp combo will give you better sound in most cases.

    Receiver designs often make compromises for compactness. Poorly designed ones can suffer SQ wise, but there are many very good receivers. It's really a matter of personal preference.

    I prefer separates for the upgrade flexibility they offer in addition to the appeal of each piece serving one purpose. I don't mind making the added space separates demand and laying out added money for the interconnects they require.
