Nesto, you would connect your front AVR preouts to the HT bypass input of an integrated. When you watch movies, the integrated then acts as a power amp for the front speakers. You would connect all your music sources to the other integrated inputs and you would not use the AVR for stereo listening. Make sense?
Are marantz power amps any good?
I want to step up to a power amp and was wondering g if the marantz power amps are worth it? I love the sound of their avr's , but the power amps seem low on specs , is there more too it than wattage ? Do they provide tons of current , and if so what makes a 300 watt per channel amp better than this one ?
