The main difference between a receiver and an amplifier is that a receiver typically combines several audio components into one unit, including a preamplifier, power amplifier, AM/FM tuner, and sometimes additional features like a phono stage or DAC. On the other hand, an amplifier is solely responsible for boosting the strength of audio signals to drive speakers, and it may be used as part of a separate audio system or in conjunction with other components like preamplifiers or AV processors.
