Bypassing B&K AVR 507 Pre-amp.


I would like to move on to separates. As I can't afford to buy both amp and pre-amp at the same time, I would like to start with the pre-processor. My B&K 507 S2 receiver does not have pre-amp out or amp-in connections. If I were to start with a different pre-amp, could I use the 7.1 audio inputs on the 507 to input the signal from the pre-amp? Would the fact that these inputs do not have bass management be a problem?
Any info appreciated.

Rich,

it can be done but not a good ideal, the pre/pro can do the bass management then send the signal to the 507 7.1 input, however, the signal had to pass thu two volume control and it will degrade the sound. why not sell the 507 and use the money buy a multi ch power amp like a used rotel 1095 or a b&k etc...
