Chippie1503561341 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Hi All, I have decided to upgrade my older yam avr with a newer 663 . The amp is fantastic at ht but isnt as good at music as my yam 5750 or hk 3480 , a lot less bass / mid bass . The hk 3480 is a 2 chan avr with pre outs and a main in , great sounding amp smooth with lots of power .The question is can i use the pre outs on the 663 to the main in on the hk ? How would the sound change in movies when audio moves left cen right , as the hk and yam avr sound very diffrent and the center sound might contrast to much. Reading up on the subject suggests its possible as in adjusting the sound levels with a meter , vol on hk at average listening level then turn the front 2 of 663 amp off in menu and then calibrate the 663 level with the hk connected ? What setting on the hk amp to enable the preout/main in and any other helpful suggestions would be appreciated Cheers Chippie
Tony Montana Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Not too sure about using the preouts, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions to improve the musicality of the 663. As the OP mentions its great on HT, but seems a bit lacking with normal music. Cheers

Chippie1503561341 Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 HI All, Thanks for the replys TonyMontana and Kazz. The link helped as it was well written,honest and informative but didnt answer my question as the rotel amp was powering the 3 front speakers and they would sound the same . My center channel would still be powered by the 663 as the hk is a 2 channel avr . The rotel is a dedicated amp and my hk3480 is an AVR and i dont want to damage any thing by connecting it up incorectly . I have read the FAQ and HT bypass thread by Alebonau , Petetherocks review , 663 thread and they were very helpful. Am I on the right track or should I turn back ? Cheers Chippie
