    why do pre/pros cost more than recievers?

    aside from the marketing and the speculation has anyone actually opened a reciever and opened a pre/pro of the same brand and compared the two. or even listened to both side by side (using reciever as a pre/pro)? is any one affiliated with an audio company and have inside info?

    so let me get this straight..pre/pros are marketed towards a small group of people. and recievers to the mass. so what about the actuall circuitry of a particular company say dennon. is the circuitry higher quality in their middle of the line pre/pro vs middle of the line reciever. im mean...

    help! im surrounded by cheap gear.

    thanks, do you think it would be a good idea to buy an inexpensive marantz reciever and use the pre outs with my amps. or a pricier one and use the preouts. I guess what im asking is, what makes a cheap reciever cheap compared to a more expensive one of the same brand, where do they cut the most...
