No, it will not have any adverse effect on the AVR. I've tried it out and the result of two speakers as fronts (one pair through AVR and the other pair through stereo amp from fron pre-outs) was quite pleasing.
Don't forget to level match the output of the AVR and the Stereo Amp in order to ensure that both pairs of speakers are equally loud at any given volume.
This is really good to know and encouraging to go via this option.
Yes as a temp i used DB meter in phone to level match... As you mentioned it's pleasing and even my kid pointed that it was nice.
Have tried without HDMI and using Analog input, but not getting any signal output to speakers. Have opened the AVR in the week end to get a peek inside. There is lot of dust, never opened once in the last 7 years. Also, found electrical leakage in all part of the AVR. Even though it uses 3 pin plug, it has only two power input terminals in the back. Added a wire separately to the body for earthing.

It Marantz NR1506, it doesn't support multiEQ app. Maybe I need to go for DSP for subwoofer.Most Auto EQ programs don't work well enough, or you must measure multiple times until it sounds remotely good enough. The best way to do it is by ear rather than letting Auto EQ decide for you. It is best you allow auto EQ to adjust frequencies below 200hz only.
Are you able to use the MultEQ app? if so correct from 200hz and below.

Could this issue be due to audyssey microphone gone bad issue? If thats the case then need to try some other microphone and check.Most Auto EQ programs don't work well enough, or you must measure multiple times until it sounds remotely good enough.

It's possible, but unlikely.
Don't do that. Get a small 3 or 2 channel amp, like Emotiva BasX A2 or A3. Use it to power the front LR or LCR(depending on what you get).
Get a cheap class D amp like the Fosi V3/Aiyima A07 max and you're good to go. Adding better amplification for the height channels is going to make very little difference, if any, unless (i) you intend to listen to music solely through your atmos speakers i.e. without front LR, center and surrounds playing, and (ii) you've got money burning a hole into your pocket.
Are you sure its pre-out? Because "Height 2" terminals are speaker terminals as per your image
I think I will go with the cheap way for now. later I will upgrade to a power amp for LCR. That's future planning. Thanks.
Yeah. I checked Amazon. It is not very expensive. does anyone have first-hand experience with these amps? thanks.
Yeah. I am sure. I checked the manual. only 9 are powered speakers. A local dealer confirmed the "Height2" is not powered out. they are pre-out only.
