Everyone

I recently demoed the RF3-II's at a local audio store, and I liked them very much. However, I am very new to this stuff, and I was wondering you guys could help me out. I was told that most receivers are 8 amps, and that if I had the money I should buy a separate amplifier. I have read through these boards and the Denon 3802 seems to be a very popular choice, is that receiver 8 amps also? What are your thoughts on my situations, should I get a receiver and an amplifier? I don't want to spend over $2,000, so if I got the 3802 I wouldn't be able to get anything else. Thanks for your suggestions.
