Single Sub Woofer for two separate systems?
You can.I do - works perfect.AVR sub out goes to the LFE input on the sub.Integrated amp with HT Bypass with preouts goes to the line level inputs to the sub.For movies, Int Amp set to HT input, preouts are disabled, and the AVR sub out drives the... 
All Amps Sound the Same....
AVS or Audioholics I bet....

Just a couple of 'rock' titles you might enjoy...Elton John - "Madman Across the Water"Bryan Ferry - "Boys and Girls" or "Bete Noire"Supertramp - "Crime of the Century"Steely Dan - "Countdown to Ecstasy"

Having an ear for Jazz
Within the last 2 years I've amassed a small but selective and varied jazz collection on CD/SACD from smooth jazz (Larry Carlton, Chris Botti, etc) to the traditional giants (Coltrane, Davis, Getz, Pepper, Chambers, etc).I really really enjoy jazz... 
Extremely High-End "Pre-Pro" Surround Pre-Amp
Another vote for a separate preamp or integrated amp with HT Bypass for 'serious' 2-channel performance.Pre/Pros are like a swiss army knife - they have to do alot of things in a single unit - and there are gonna be compromises to cram all those f...

Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum hookup questions
Nice amp - congrats.1. From the Energy manual, looks like you are going to have to choose either hooking the sub up to your AVR to get bass management features (important for movies and scary LFE levels), or hook the sub up via speaker wires since... 
Amp more important than speakers?
Speakers first in this case, but *everything* matters in the end.I subscribe to the real observed result of 'synergy' and the inter-relationship of a given system comprised of different components.Synergy is a b@tch, but once you lick her...she's ... 
is finding a good a/v preamp/amp asking too much?
Just because avrs and pre/pros offer digital room management is no guarantee of any sonic superiority to good quality 2-channel components.The notion of digital room correction is, imo, vastly puffed up in what it offers for sonic presentation int... 
is finding a good a/v preamp/amp asking too much?
I would also recommend the AVR w/ separate int amp or preamp with HT bypass to build a hybrid rig for movies and music.But, whoever said it has to be all at once? And who really thinks you will EVER be done once you start? :-)Start with the most A... 
How to hook JL F112 sub to both preamp and pre/pro
A pre/pro is a swiss army knife that is great for doing a bunch of stuff at the sacrifice of doing just a couple really well.I'd prefer a high end preamp/amp and take the extra time to do my own sub integration. 
How to hook JL F112 sub to both preamp and pre/pro
I do this right now with an Epik Valor sub.RCA from the AVR to the LFE input and L/R Line level from my MF A5 Int amp L/R preouts.For Movies, the A5 is put in the HT Bypass and the preouts become disabled and the AVR drives the sub via the LFE inp... 
Incorporating sub into my 2 channel / HT system
Several subs have multiple inputs.Polk, eD, Velodyne, SVS, Epik...list goes on.I have my Epik Valor sub hooked up to both my AVR (LFE input) and Musical Fidelity A5 integrated amp w/ HT Bypass(Line line L/R) in my hybrid HT/2-channel rig.No more c...
