Lancelot Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Better not... there's a possibility of spoiling your amps.
dbchoong Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Not a good idea to connect 2 amps to one speaker at the same time. You can look for a A-B speaker switch to allow you to do this. I think available in SLT/SLS. But not very sure of price... could be around $50 or so. Not sure. Or sell your int. amp and use your AV amp for both HT and stereo. ;D
Jag Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Never do that. Get a A-B speker switch to make things simple. Else just manually unplug/plug to the amp as accordingly.

I am thinking of trying it out. Use the PRE-OUT of your AV amp to the PRE-IN of your integrated amp. Then set-back is whenever you want to watch movies, both amps have to be turned on. It will be used to drive your front speakers.
ryusong Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 hi, i try b4, found out sound quite strange, like missing something :-\
deepakvali Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 hi, i try b4, found out sound quite strange, like missing something :-\ when u mean sound stage strange is it when playing in music or movie? if it is playing music is it because your source was connected to the av amp ? me thought of giving this method a try too but the way u put it abit sianz leow.
ryusong Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 hi,stressed, it sound strange for movie and music, may be not my taste, but no harm for you to have a try,may be you will like the sound. different pepple got different taste 8)
Perouse Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 I've tried and at some passages, you get fedback from speakers. I think better stay away from this arrangement. May well damage something. Though I must say it's convenient.
deepakvali Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Why do you say something maybe damaged ar ? tot it was just tapping out some signals... ???
Perouse Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Aiyah, Stressed, don't stress me up lah. I don't have answer to your question lah. Because I'm hopeless in this kind of things. But when you get distortion coming thru' the speakers because of this method of connection, then it frightens me. Someone told me once what this is doing though I did not fully comprehend it. So, I'll just stay away from there and still use 2 sets of speakers side by side, one for music and the other HT. I know not best solution but I oso cannot think of a solution. Adding a switch will also deteriorate sound I think.
deepakvali Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 haha, ok shall not stress u then : ) Thanks for ur feedback.
Phil1624705739 Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Stressed suggestion is one of the better options... BTW all options will have some degree of degrading for the sound quality (sq). Just a recap of the options with my 2 cents worth opinion 1. Manually switching at speaker -> troublesome + wear & tear 2. Speaker switch board -> troublesome & probably highest impact to SQ if this device is not made of quality components. 3. Pre-out/main-in -> least troublesome because can use remote and minimum effect on SQ if quality interconnects are used. Phil
deepakvali Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 Option 3 by Phil: Actually that was what I was thinking too but as what Perouse mentioned you get some strange feedback and staging dont seem right...haahaa. If thats the case, wont there be an impact if a Power-amp is being used, thats dangerous right? On the other hand, I was thinking if the Integrated Amp has say a CD player connected direct to it, will it still be able to play or has everything got to go through the AV amp. Can the Integrated amp still play with the Pre-In connected? Any ideas anyone.
Perouse Posted January 27, 2003 Posted January 27, 2003 this pre-out, main-in arrangement I've heard of before. Does it work like this: CDP out into AVR in. AVR pre-out into pre-amp in. Preamp out into power amp in. Means; 1 even when playing HT, preamp and power amp must be on. 2 have to equaliise volume with surroend speakers since these are still driven by AVR.

Why dun you just connect the CDP directly to the int amp since you prefer to play your CDs via the int amp?
Perouse Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 ??? Uh.. Lancelot, 1 I don't have integrated amp 2 If I connect to amp, then the amp to spiks, then back to square one ie how to connect also AVR to same spiks? Unless like what I do now lor. Use 2 pairs of speakers for 2 applications.
