HT Preamp INTEGRATED with 2 channel PRE?????


I am hoping this isn't as difficult as it seems. As with most people in the world, I am trying to integrate a 2 channel system with my home theater. I am currently using
a McIntosh MX-132, fine in theater and 2 channel, but not great in either. I think the Lexicon processor are a notch above all others in HT but suck in 2 channel. I would like to use the Lexicon for HT and a good tube for 2 channel.
I will be using a nice 2 channel amp for BOTH music AND HT, and will have an additional 3 channel amp for center and surround when in that mode.

The question:

HOW CAN I HOOK THIS UP? Options?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

You need a preamp with a processor bypass loop. Many of the newer preamps have this feature.
