I don't know if your levinson has a 'processor input'. My adcom does. With this scenario, you would go Home Theater Receiver variable outs-> adcom pream processor input -> amp -> speakers. You would control the volume with your home theater volume control. You would also have normal CD Player->Adcom preamp->amp->speaker combinations where the volume would be controlled by the preamp.
How do I listen to stereo audio?
How can I have the best of both worlds. I want to convert my audio system to home theater via the Bryston 9b. I want to be able to keep my Levinson preamp and use that for listening to stereo, but then use a surround processor for theater. How can I do this, do some good processors have some sort of passive pass through. Thanks. Matt
