    Can I use old pioneer sx 838 as preamp and power rear speakers and old marantz 140 to power fronts?

    @'s cool because the Marantz is just an amplifier, heck, not even a power switch, just left and right attenuators. I just want to make sure the power from the Pioneer is not bypassed, so I will have the full power capability from both pieces.

    Not worried about surround, I just wanted the 70wpc from the Marantz to feed the Klipsch Belles (front), and the 50wpc from the pioneer to feed the Heresys (rear). I have been told that if I use the pre-outs from the Pioneer to the Marantz I will bypass the Pioneers amp.
