Is there a new model season for AV receivers like there is for cars and such?

Just from looking around, it appears that to get features and quality power amplifier in the same package takes pretty good money. It seems the way to go is to get a mid-line receiver with the features you want on the tuner/processor side with acceptable beginning power specs and then add a good budget 5-channel amp. That is the way I would do it if I wanted the tuner. If I had to do it over again I would ditch the Pioneer Elite receiver and go back to separates which is how I started. I still have the amps in the attic would just need to buy a modern processor. That is if I ever get back into that again.

This is what I am looking to do. A very good mid-line or better AV receiver (high side of the regular Marantz, Yamaha or Anthem is what I am leaning towards) and a good 5 channel amp. (I'd go with a 2 channel amp if I need to as well if it will still use the processing for any encoded CDs I have for fun. I could then just use the power from the receiver for the occasional movie or what have you. I wanted to try separates, but that is tons more money than I could save in 10 years time and challenging waters to navigate.
