How to use your integrated amp wth a HTS?

[black tortoise]

Hi Guys,

 

Would like to know how to use my integrated tube amp wth a AVR (HTS)?

 

Is my Illustration as below correct:

 

                  Sub

          Centre Speaker

          LR & RR speaker 

                  ^                                             

DVDp -> AVR (Pre-out) -> Integrated Tube amp -> LF & RF speaker

                                              ^

                                             CDP

 

However, I came across this article which make me a bit confuse. Why need to connect the surround output to the Integrated amp?

 

Quoted from website:

For surround, take the left/right main output from your processor or surround receiver and plug it in to the AUX 1 or some other line level in on the integrated amp. All you have to do is switch to that input, and consider the integrated amp now as a power amp

Yup, wat u're doing is right... i think the website is actually describing wat u're doing now.. The "for surround" at the beginning of the sentence is misleading..

Thanks, Kzone.

 

Should I preset the vol at the AVR or Integrated Amp?

Any I/C to recommend for AVR to Integrated Amp?
