2 amps to 1 set of speakers
Tue, Apr 8 2008, 1:38PM
I currently have an amp I like for music. I'm looking at AV receivers now, aware that it might not give me quite the same performance musically.
Is it possible/advisable or not to use my main fronts for both? I.e. wire both the amp and AV into the same 2 speakers (as long as I don't use at the same time!!).
Not at all advisable. You need a speaker switchbox at least, or even better an AV receiver with preout sockets for the front channels, so you can route these through the stereo amp to your speakers.
