I have a Monitor Audio Bronze B2AV package connected to a Sony STRDB940
receiver.

The receiver is not that great with stereo music reproduction. I would
like
to get a separate stereo amp for listening to music, however, I would
still
like to use the Monitor Audio Bronze B2 fronts.

How would I go about using the speakers with the stereo amp while they
are
connected to the Sony Receiver. I don't want to keep unplugging and
plugging
in etc. I have them in a biwired configuration at the moment.


For similar reasons I have a Denon AV receiver used in conjunction with an
Audiolab amp.

The Denon handles all the Dolby decoding, drives the centre and rear
speakers and provides
the sub output. I take the Denon's pre-amp level output for the two main
channels and feed
them into an pair of unused tuner inputs on the Audiolab. CD player and
Turntable feed
directly into the Audiolab.

Once wired up it's just a case of balancing output levels. I have a
setting marked on the
Audiolab's volume control which matches the output from the main speakers
to that of the
centre and rears.

Simple, but it works for me..

I've done the same with a Sony STRDB930 and Alchemist Forseti pre/power - AV
sounds better through the superior front channel amps (plus I guess the AV
receiver runs more efficiently with the power supply providing current for
centre and rears only) and hifi isn't bothered by the AV amp.

Definitely the way to go IMO.
