For chamber music perhaps and movie soundtracks but when you try reproducing Mahler's Eighth on anything less than stellar equipment (read separates), I wouldn't want to be your speakers! My Onkyo receiver in my bedroom coupled with 5 B&W satellite speakers and a B&W sub can sound very good but when compared to my larger systems consisting of separates, there is NO comparison but if space or proximity to neighbors is a problem, the receiver is sometimes the only solution.
