I'm new to hifi and still looking for a pre-amp. I was told to use my current A/V receiver as pre-amp temporarily. Does this really work? BTW, I've just bought a used Bryston 4B ST and a pair of Thiel CS3.5
It works if the receiver has pre-outs -- most do. Given the quality of your speakers and power amp, and assuming your receiver analog section isn't of the same quality, I'd suggest that you get a stand alone stereo pre-amp with stereo-bypass.
