Question regarding adding a poweramp to an integrated amp


Greetings, 

If I added a powered amplifier to an integrated amplifier via preouts, would the internal amplifier on the integrated turn off? Or will it still run and generate heat regardless?

 

I have a Lexicon RV-5 and love it and it’s functioning fine, but I am concerned at the age and the fact that nobody wants to touch it in regards to servicing it.  I wanted to get it recapped and even pyramid audio won’t due it. Basically I’d feel more comfortable buying a poweramp if I knew I’d be preserving the internal amplifier.

Well, one way to look at it is, if it can't be serviced anyway and you want to run an external amp, what would you be preserving the internal amp for?

Does the owners manual show anything about this?
