How far can the cable lengths be for the configuration shown in post 2? I was thinking of doing something similar but my RCA cords would have to be 25" long to go the pre-out route, I would have to make them up from typical heavy speaker wire "zip cord" already in place that runs between the two...

Well, I seemed to have fixed it. The set up screen of the Blu Ray had a Dolby, DTS and then two "Bitstream" options, one of which had the title "Bitstream Audiophile". A little Googling revealed that what that option does is send the input stream un-encoded so the receiver does the encode. I...

This looks like a better bargain buy, IMHO: http://www.harmanaudio.com/search_browse/product_detail.asp?urlMaterialNumber=AVR%203600&status=

I was referring to the other one. The user reviews on the Amazon links were terrible. Think I'll pass.....

Just a short comment, I run Onkyo and Harman power amps together and they complement each other in a remarkable way, at least to my ear, they sound better running together than they do run standalone.

Ooooo, I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-NR809-Certified-7-2-Channel-Receiver/dp/B00505F01E/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356561158&sr=1-1&keywords=nr809 No pre-outs, not surprising, they had to cheap out somewhere.

I'd simply use the pre-outs to push seperate amps and not attach any speakers to the receiver. I am assuming a 100 watt amp section means a 100 watts divided by 7 channels, that's not much of an amp. if they are claiming 700 watts for a $300 box, well, I doubt it sounds very good in all...

I'm looking at this one on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160784637977?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The power rating is low, but I would actually use it as more of a Pre-processor than an actual speaker driver, since I have separate power amps running front, center...

I have an "open concept" house, which means I have a very large living room (20x40). I've had to set up a pretty complex sound system to get the music quality I desired, with a mix of older equipment and newer stuff added for the Blu-ray/HDTV. I've managed to set up an awesome music system...

Thanks!  

Hi, new to the forum, hoping I can get a question answered. I have picked up a nice used HK AVR 230 6.1. On the back, I have a section of outputs called "pre amp" outputs, with one set of outputs for each surround channel. I am a little confused by the name - does it mean this is a signal...
