Amp compatibility


Hi,

i am new to this so aplogies in advance. I am trying to get an anthem mca 5 amp to power some paradigm signatures s2. I currently have a pioneer vsx-919ah-k receiver and can’t figure out if i have pre outs for the speakers. I know i have a pre out for the sub, but i am not sure if i can pair the new amp with this receiver or i will have to get a new reciever or preamp. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for the kind explanation & advice! Wife will not like this new expense :-)

Is there a way to test an amplifier without having a pre amp processor? I mean if I only have the speakers and the aforementioned vsx-919, can I test to see if the amp is fully working etc. i guess the correct path is getting a processor first and then the amp, right? Thank you again!
