wiring speakers to Amp and AVR?


Hi, I am using my HT audio-visual receiver as a pre-amp for my stereo amp. My front speakers are wired directly to my main power amp for stereo use. However, when I want surround sound in HT, I have to swith the wires from the power amp back to the AVR. Is there a way to wire my front speakers to the AVR as well as the amp without burning something out? thanks,

Why can't you use your amp in surround mode? If you're using the AVR as pre, it should work as is, other than maybe adjusting front channel levels.

Pre outs are fairly common in receivers, actually.
You mean the levels don't match? Can you adjust the levels of the from channels through the AVR's channel level controls?
