Using preout from AVR as input to Integrated amp

[samgurung]

Hi folks,

Can an integrated amp be used simply as a power amp in an ht setup to drive the front speakers by connecting the preout from the AVR to one of the inputs of the amp. Any adverse effects of doing this?

Thanks for the feedback

Basic question on Amplifiers - Can one use an AVR and a Stereo amp together?

Hello all, I'm new to all the world of Hi-Fi. Thanks to many FMs' help, I got good info on how to setup a 5.1. Now, I have a basic question w.r.t amplifiers: I have a Denon AV Receiver -- works amazing for movies. Not so great for music. How do I improve the quality of music given my setup...

Connecting pre-out to a Pre-amp

Hi, Is it ok to connect the front L/R pre-out from the AVR to one of the input in the stereo pre-amp? I'm trying to use the same set of speakers for music and movies. As per the AVR spec, the pre-out is 1.0V/500 ohms and the pre-amp spec says maximum input impedance is 47k/200pF and max input...

Yes very easily done. Keep integrated amp vol at 10 o clock or 12 o clock and run audyssey

You need an AVR with pre out and an Integrated Amplifier with pre in or HT bypass mode

pre in or HT bypass ....

Recommended IA should have Power amp in/ HT bypass /HT in/Poweramp direct in.
"Pre In"may not be the correct word imho.

@samgurung There are lot more threads available in hfv on the same topic as mentioned by fm

"Pre In"may not be the correct

My bad. It's usually Power Amp/ Direct In/ HT in etc.

Amplifiers with HT-bypass - update 21. Mars 2024

Audiophile.no has made a list of stereo preamps and integrated amps that have one sort of HT-bypass. This list is updated 21. Mars 2024 with amplifiers from Hegel, and will be will be continuously updated. Written by Karl Erik Sylthe, at 15.02.07 Translated to English in june 2008Latest update...

This is the oft quoted link that lists all IA with HT bypass connections

You would need an AVR with an amplification bypass (implemented as a pre-out) and an IA with a pre-amp bypass (HT bypass)

That way, AVR will act as a pre-amp and IA will act as a power-amp.
