Receiver used as a pre-amp?


Hey guys... I am on the last leg of purchasing my audio system. Currently I am at:
B&W Matrix 803 II Speakers
Krell KAV 250A - Amp
Rotel 971 CD
Straight Wire Rhapsody II interconnects and speaker cable

However... I don't have the funds to purchase my last piece of equipment, a CJ PV-18 so...

Can I use my Sansui Stereo Receiver as a pre-amp in the mean time? Or do I have to wait until I finally get the CJ to hook up the Krell?

Thanks for your help!

good question. my dealer told me that i could use my integrated amp, however it had no pre outs... see on the back if you have a pre in or out.. if so, you should be in business, if not, you will probably have to wait on a pre amp, or , and i dont know alot about this, but my cd player has a volume control, and i can run my amp directly through it, however, it is a very high end cd player, and not all are capable of this.. check the back...
