Cool, I like headphones too. And like you said, good point, it saves space.
Instead of big black audio electronics, or silver or gold, and a bunch of speakers everywhere you can have art that you like; paintings, sculptures, nice furniture, art deco, beautiful desks, etc.
An AV receiver with preouts is more for people who are into more serious physical body shaking and assaulting surround sound movie watching from Hollywood blockbusters on Blu-ray or 4K or DVD or Netflix or Vudu or Hulu or HBO or Amazon movie prime or YouTube cinema or all that multichannel surround sound with 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 9 or 11 or 13 or 15 or 24 (high end pre/pro) satellite speakers and a bunch of subwoofers (2 to 4 to 8).
There is a difference between a good pair of cans with DSP and a full home theater setup. Best is to have both, IMO, that way we have more options depending on our mood of the moment, and depending of our room, and the consideration of the family living under that same roof, and the size of the home, the number of rooms, the isolation, the soundproofing system, ...all that jazz.
And we can add more power, external amplifiers with those preouts in the back of that AV receiver.
