    Music AMP and AV AMP - Help

    I intend to buy a Yamaha RX-V2700 to watch movie. However, I also like listening to pure music from CD. In this case, I will need another better AMP for the music. Can someone advise how I can connect these two amp together as I only want them to share the same pair of front speakers. Someone suggest I need a AMP with Pre-out. I dont understand it. Please help.

    My idea to is get the B&W 804s and HTM3 plus a subwoofer and a pair of surround speakers.

    Appreciate your help.

    Steve

      What you are looking to do can be accomplished in two ways. Some 2-channel preamps have a feature called a home theater pass thru, for use in conjunction with a separate surround processor. The preamp main outputs feed two amplifier channels powering the main right and left speakers. The front right and left outputs of the processor are fed to surround inputs of the preamp. When in HT mode, the front right and left signals from the processor are routed (passed thru) to the preamp main outputs. In 2-channel mode the signal from your CD player of other stereo source is fed to the preamp main outputs.

      Alternately, you can configure your setup as I have done, to use my HT system for secondary 2-channel listening. My multichannel receiver has pre-outs for all channels. I feed the front right and left preouts to a separate 2-channel amplifier which powers the main speakers. For 2-channel listening I just select the 2-channel mode on the receiver so that only the main channels are in use.

          Many thanks.

          In that case, I will need to turn on both AMPs when watch DVD. Will there be any compatability problem with different price levels of AMPs.

              No. Amplifier price level does not matter.

                  Q: S/N on 1055 vs 1066 ?
                  by Gary Stevens
                  Greetings!

                  I've been pondering the tradeoff between a 1066 and a 1055 and I am wondering if anyone has any info or experiences with the relative signal to noise ratios.

                  I believe that Andrew noted in another thread (on another forum?) that Rotel stated the S/N ratio of...

                  RSX-1057 and bi-amp
                  by renpar61
                  I have a RSX-1057 and a RMB-1070 to amp the main. Can I bi-amp the speakers with the main channel outputs from the receiver? The receiver output is 75 wpc while the 1070 is 125 wpc, would this be a problem? And last, which amp should be connected to which speaker input? Is it better to send more power...

                  audio quality when using 'zone out' plugs for a preamp on the RSX-1057?
                  by Tino D'Voe
                  So here's my idea; I have a room dedicated for hometheater with a rotel rsx1057 running a B&W DM300 series surround set.

                  I also have an RB-1080, 2 B&W 683's and a rcd-1072 setup with a Rc-1070 in another room.

                  I'd like to use the 683 in the theater room because...

                  RSX972 - mains preouts to power amp

                  Hi all,

                  I have a question on behalf of a friend. He has an RSX-972 integrated AV amp with pre-amp outputs (I think I have the model number right). He wants connect the pre-outs for the main left and right channels on the 972 to a good quality stereo power amp for a better quality 2 channel...
