Thanx for your response guys, now all I have to do is save for a couple of months to buy the appropriate receiver. And thanx for the offer Imin2u, but at the moment I'm quite literally broke, so I have to let your offer go. Thanx anyway!!
A/V receiver for decoding and center/rear
I want to add homecinema to my system, which is stereo-orientated. Since I don't want to change my stereo amp for a surround design, I figured I could buy a A/V-receiver for decoding use and to drive the center and rear-speakers. That means I would connect my stereo-sources (turntable, CD) straight to the stereo-amp, and DVD/video/tv into the receiver. I would use the line out for front right and left to feed my stereo amp, and the built-in amps for center and rear from the A/V-receiver, leaving the receiver out of the chain when listening to stereo-sources. Would this work? And is there a chance of damaging/blowing up the amps in the receiver, since the front-amps won't be used?
Thanks for any advice.
