Going from 5Ch amp to separate 3Ch & 2 Ch. amps.

I know this may sound rather basic, but I never did this and all I've known is what my slick salesman told me..I want to get separate amps but don't know how to hook them up ? I listen to 80% music and 20% HT, so I have Def. Tech.'s all around(5CH). I want to move up to B&W 802's for music,(I always listen in 2 Ch.) and I know then I will give up some quality sound in movies..Any help on hook-ups, and components suggestions are greatly appreciated ! Thanks ! Larry

I would use a 2 ch amp for your mains and the 3 ch amp for center and surrounds. As to hooking things up, you would simply connect the appr outputs from the processor to the appr inputs on each amp. The only difference would be that you now have two boxes for the five channels instead of one. You'll still have the same amount of cables, input and output jacks, etc.... Sean
