Sorry to tumpang this tread

Currently I have an entry Hi5 setup, CD5001 + PM4001 + 1 pair of MS902i.

Now, plan to invest on HT. How do I maintain 1 pair of speaker with AVR(target on SR6003) + Int Amp(PM4001)? I have not listened SR6003 with MS902i but based on Marantz salesman, PM4001 should give better SQ in stereo.

Can I tap the pre-out of AVR (front L/R) to the Int Amp to drive front speakers? The Centre & Surround will drive directly by AVR.

CDP --> Int Amp --> Front L/R
AVR(pre out) --> Int Amp(pre in) --> Front L/R
AVR --> Centre/Surround/Sub.
