Thanks 2X6spds, this was pretty much my idea, I'm just concerned about the implications if any of connecting an amplified signal from a reciever, with no separate preamp outputs, to an amp.

Can anyone tell me if it's a problem, or any issues I'd encounter by directly connecting the speaker output from a reciever to another amp.

My assumption has been since the signal had already been amplified, connecting it to another amp would be a problem.

Also how about adjusting the SPL on all speakers, in the system. eg: if one is using say separate amps connected to a reciever for the Front L + R and then connecting the centre and surrounds directly to the reciever.

My apologies if this is completely obvious, but as I've never owned a HT reciever or amps I really have no clue as to what if any complications I could be getting into by doing this as apposed to using a reciever only.

Thanks again for the help, Mike
