do i still need a pre-amp


time to upgrade my older pioneer elite rear projection tv to a plasma. everything now requires HDMI so my old rotel pre-amp cannot be used.

i have aerial speakers, martin logan sub, rotel amp and a panasonic blue-ray player.

i only use this setup for tv and movie watching so i was thinking to save some money just using the source switching on the tv as a pre-amp.

any thoughts if this would cause a loss i sound quality or ??

thanks

keep your rotel preamp; connect your cable box and bluray by hdmi directly to your tv (for video) and also connect red/white rca from cable box and bluray to your preamp for audio.
