HT Bypass necessary?

My plan to build two separate systems has gone out the window, so I must combine the two. I have a Mcintosh C15 preamp and before I consider selling it, I was wondering how I could incorporate it into my home theater. I'm not sure of the method, but I've read that using a pre without ht bypass has been done.

So the question is, should I replace the mac with a preamp that has ht bypass or is it unnecessary?

So you guys are saying that the output from his AVR into any input on the preamp will work? How is the volume going to be controlled? Everything he changes the volume on the AVR for the surround speakers he will have to adjust the volume on the preamp no? This is how I understand it.
HT by pass does exactly that... bypasses the signal and lets the AVR control the volume of all speakers.
