Hi-
This is my first post to audio karma. Everytime I search on a piece of equipment, new or old, this site comes up and I have learned a lot. So now I'm jumping into the fray.
I used to run a surround sound set up off of my Onkyo TX-NR646, but have dialed back to the standard 2 speaker stereo setup (I'm loving my ELAC Debut 2.0 F6s). On another thread, I read that I could get better sound/separation from a dedicated 2 channel receiver vs a surround. So I am thinking about the TX-8270. Although I won't really use the HDMI, I do like the support for Airplay because I run quite a few live shows off my Mac to my stereo.
So my question is, will I really get better sound from the 8270? Any help or opinion is helpful. Heck, I can always audition the receiver and send it back if it doesn't sound different to my ears.

PS If anybody has an opinion on a different receiver or even an integrated amp, that would be great. I'm just running a DVD player, TT, and my Mac.
