Hi all,

 

Need some advice on the following setup.

 

In short, I want to have the power amp hooked up to the AVR via preouts that enables me to use the setup for both HT and music. 

 

- AVR drives the centre, RB, LB, two ceiling speakers and a sub 

- Power amp will be connected to the AVR via the preout to drive the FL and FR 

 

Questions as follows 

- how exactly do I go about setting up the FR and FL that enables me to go between HT and stereo modes. 

 

- the sub will be connected to the AVR hence in stereo mode, the amp can't be used unless I have to get a power amp with sub output. 

 

- correct me if I'm wrong but in the proposed arrangement, the AVR technically is a preamp for the power amp .... Or do I need a standalone preamp for the power amp.? 

 

- I intend to connect the DAC to the AVR ... Would this be right ??? 

 

Thanks all

hook up the power amp to the pre-outs from the AVR and the AVR will do the rest.  you just select stereo for music.  simple as that.

 

Using a DAC is probably wasted time and money as it will still need to go through the DAC in the AVR, unless it has a ht bypass.  not all do.
