Basic questions regarding a “separates” set-up

I’m not entirely sure how this works so please bare with me.

If I have a HT integrated receiver and want to use it as a processor and preamp the wiring would be as follows:

All source signals go to the Pre/Pros the signal leaves through the pre-out connections to the amp/s then the amps (lets say two different power amps) feed the signal directly to the speakers.

Is that correct?


A few questions

Where do you adjust for speaker levels the pre/pros or the power amps?
How do you control the master volume amongst the different channels that are controlled by two different amps?

Sorry for the REAL BASIC questions.

Thanks,
Mike

The external amps will just be replacing the internal channels in the receiver. You adjust the master volume and individual channel levels from the receiver just as when you are using its internal channels.
