BTW, don't forget to recalibrate the speaker settings on the receiver after installing a new amp or speakers. You'll need to account for different amplifier gain and/or speaker efficiencies.......

how to use outboard amp w/HT recvr?
Probably silly question, but would like your help. I am upgrading to B&W n803's and an HTM1 as my front 3 in HT setup. I have a pioneer vsx49tx HT recvr putting out 130wpc. However, I don't think it's good enough power for 803s for 2 chnl music. I understand I can upgrade amp using rcvr's pre-out, but what if I only want to use outboard amp for the front 3? How do I still use rcvr for surrounds? Isn't pre-out for the entire signal? I haven't looked at the recvr or the manual yet, but thought you guys could give me quick answer. Thanks much...Jeff
