Hi Foxtrot, Slappy and Rich are right, you must have pre outs for each channel to do away with all the internal amps in your receiver. If you only have front L/R pre outs, then you will only use those channels for your sound upgrade. Let us know what you have. If your receiver has pre outs for all channels then your options are larger.
Using my Power Amp + my receiver
I have a Carver AV405 multichannel power amp and also a Sony STR DE-985 receiver.
I was thinking that I could maybe use the power amp to drive the fronts, surrounds and center and use the receiver only to do the decoding.
Is it a good idea...how can I do this ???
Any help would be much appreciated.
