Eric,

Not sure how far away your pre-pro/receiver is but if it has a trigger out then you can turn the amp on (with delay preferably) through one on/off switch. Of course, you may still want to keep the cabinet open to look at your amp once in a while. \:\)

Interesting contrast of technology and level of eqipment in that picture with the JVC VHS on top and the $4K A1400-8 on the bottom.
