Thanks!

So, did you notice a difference is sound quality over running directly off the 7200? I'm not too concerned with the fan noise, the amp will be upstairs with the AVR, while the speakers are downstairs.

Dam, I'm almost scared to try this. I can't get the 7200 to 0 with my M80's now. I tried standing outside the house and bumping up the remote, but I think some of my neighbors thought I was a burglar, so I stopped. Plus, it was getting really loud and rattling things on the deck.
