AV AMP and Stereo AMP sharing same pair of speaker

lumdicks

Dear all,

Just purchased a NAD C326BEE Int. AMP (no AV Bypass input) with a hope to improve musicality of listening CD and LP. I understand that I can connect my Onkyo 806 through its pre-outs to input pf NAD, however, I would like to know whether the following connection is okay or not:

CD / Sources ----> NAD Int. AMP (through pre-outs) ---> Onkyo 806 (via multi-channel analogue inputs) ----> Front Speakers.

Thanks for any ideas in advance.

CD / Sources ----> NAD Int. AMP (through pre-outs) ---> Onkyo 806 (via multi-channel analogue inputs) ----> Front Speakers.  << not a good idea!


my suggestion is: add one more pair of spk cable to int. amp, then CD > int. amp > spk

I'm also struggling of using my stereo speaker as front channel or not!?

Any big brothers can share their experience of using existing 2 channel setup to build up the home theatre!?

Do you mean connecting the front speakers to both Onkyo 806 and NAD at the same time?

NO  problem for no av by pass .....
cal your system at certain volume (say -20dB)
every time u watch movie, switch to the same volume ....
just a little bit troublesome .....but work .....

by the way ..is this an english only thread ??

不是! i mean 可以的話準備多一對喇叭線for int. amp, then: CD > NAD > SPK
效果會比用2部amp (NAD + Onkyo)串聯為好！

Sorry for writing in English as my Chinese typing is very poor and I have no hand-writing pad around.................. both Chinese and English is welcomed.

I know the method suggested by you but just wonder my method works also........... I have a concern that my wife forget to adjust the volume on Int. AMP after listening to CD..................

Thanks for clarification. Please comment whether it is correct or not:

1. For music:

CD / LP --> NAD Int. AMP --> Front Speakers

2. For Entertainment:

BD / PS3 / XB360 / Wii / DVD --> Onkyo 806 --> 5.1 Speakers (including the front speakers)
