How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp

I have a NAD preamp that I use for music. I have a Lexicon preamp that I use for Video. The problem is I have 1 five chanel amp that I need to use for both preamps. When I try to use rca splitters/y adapters, my speakers play at a low volume. If I disconnect one preamp, the speakers play louder. What should I do to allow both preamps access to my 5 channel amp and not have humming or low volume.

If the stereo preamp has a Home Theather bypass input, you can connect the Krell front LR pre out to that input.

When you are watching movies, switch the stereo preamp to HT bypass mode.

My Bel Canto Pre3 has an input I can configure for that.

As for my Audio Research Reference 5 (PROC mode).
