Two systems; One amp one set of speakers


This may be a little far out but is it possible to run two systems through one amp and one set of front main speakers. I have a home theatre system but enjoy my stereo the most. I have a denon avr 5600 running pre out front rt and lft to an Aragon 4004 and connected to ML Requests. would it be possible to run,a Y connecter off the rt and lft inputs on the Aragon and connect the preouts from the Denon and pre outs from the DACpre to the Aragon? Is this possible and if so what should I look for as far as sound degredation and potential problems? If this is not possible, is there a way to do this? Thanks

Yo,musicnut,I loved your closing sentence" If this is not possible,is there a way to do it"-my kind of guy.I presume you want to use the fronts only as your 2 ch. music playback?? Yes,all this is possible.You are close. If the back is easy to get to use interconnects from pre out for 2 ch. music .Then a seprate set of speaker wires for home theater ss.---You have the extra set of speaker wires.they are not connected for 2 ch.Then for ss, hook them to speaker at one end and into the reciever at the other end.Naturally un plug the interconnect from pre out.Make sure your Aragon is turned off also.So for HT you are using the amp from the reciever to drive your fronts.For 2 ch you are using your Arogon.Clear as mud??Not sure but I think there is a tape loop device also that you can purchase.STAY AWAY from the Y connectors.Have banana pins on the speaker wire ends,and it will go faster.Stand alone processors with seprate amps make this very simple,but what I explained will work.The extra set of speaker wires w/ banana ends will do the job cheapy enough.
None taken, Macm.Advice here is free.I just figured Gary didn't want to spend more $$$right now.Heck if the receiver and the amp are close enough together; and bananas are used;no extra speaker wire ;quick & simple. Not to mention if the receiver doesn't have"front out" rca's,(not to be confused w/ pre out) a separate pre ain't gonna help any way for home theater.I know some people need to see and read "not to be taken internally" on the label of the drano can.I didn't figure Gary was in that category.It may be crowded on the back of the rec. bi wireing could be challenging.
