Home theater bypass

Hi I am am new member I need some help with routing for my home theatre. I have a Onkyo 7.2 receiver and a mac275 amp with a cj pre amp. My speakers are Maggie's which I use for both systems I'm plugging and unplugging every time I want to use one or the other. How can I wire up a permanent setup to avoid this. Any suggestions would be great!

Does the CJ have home theater bypass?

If yes... run front R&L outputs (rca) to input on CJ

Actually, you can use any input... the CJ sees the FR&FL from your processor as an analog input. You will then need to level match the CJ volume for those speakers manually.

Hey thanks for your suggestions but most of it is Greek to me. It looks like the safest way is to continue to plug and unplug as needed. Maybe my next preamp or amp will have a factory bypass. Again thanks

What model CJ preamp do you have?  I thought they've been including HT bypass on their preamps for years.  Let's just start there.
