This same question has probably been asked and answered a few times but I can't find it. How would one go about hooking a second receiver into an AVR receiver so one could use the phone input. AVR has none. I would have to disable the amp section on the add on receiver. There are inputs on the AVR for adding; however, not sure about the other one. Can you go through the tape mode? Kind of short on cash at the moment and don't want to have to go and buy a phone pre-amp. I have the additional receiver though. thanks,

Not sure I understood some of that stuff, but I do know I have an H/K AVR500 and Pioneer CD PF958 (I think). The multi stuff mentioned above doesn't apply because this is hooked into the CD portion (two channel source I believe)and not subject to 5.1 or anything. Thanks though

Just realized the other day that I have an optical connection in my Pioneer CD player and I hooked it up. Is it possible that it might not sound as good as the RCA analog hook up or am I just imagining it?

What about grounding?

My H/K AVR Receiver has no phono jacks and I want to hook up a turntable. I have to get a phono pre-amp for the magnetic cartridge and was wondering if I could hook through the Tape In/Out (?). I do not have any auxiliary jacks either and was wondering if the tape would work as an aux hook up with the pre-amp.

Anyone?????????

I have an HT system using H/K 500. I'm running the RF-3II for fronts. I have an DC Integrated Kenwood Amplifier KA-9100 (90x2) and am thinking about using if for music with my RF-3s. I know about the Russound amp switch and will probably use it. My question is: Should I notice any difference in the music quality. I would run the CD and a turntable thru the Integrated Amp. I hate to let this monster just sit around and not be able to use it. This Kenwood can either be used via (2) channel Stereo or u can switch to using as (2) seperate mono amps. It is very heavy and pretty impressive.

Just received my RF-3II last week and they are truly great in both music and HT. If you set them right with a sub they rock. The larger the room I guess the bigger speaker you may want. My room is not too large.

Keith, yes this does look like what I am looking for; however, at the present time funds are limited, without event knowing the $$.

Is any one familiar with any devise than you can A/B switch from one amp to another. I have a Integrated Amp that I would like to be able to use for stereo on my mains without having to do any biamping. Right now using AVR for everything. Would like options.

Keith, that may be my best solution. I want to be able to run my RF 3s, not only from my H/K AVR but when listening to stereo music I would like to run them through this bohemoth Kenwood KA-9100 integrated Amp. A/B switch might be just the ticket. There must be other manufacturers making these things. I can't be the only one who would like to be able to do this. Thanks

Actually, I haven't got them yet and am in the process of making decision regarding what to get. My quintets are approximately (2) ft above ears and pretty much parallel to the ears because my couch is against the wall (no other place to put that).

I suppose there would be no problemo using it for the mains by way of b-amping? I believe the old Kenwood KA-9100 is a pretty good one; however, I haven't used it in years (boxed up) and (1) channel is kaput so I would have to get it fixed. 150 wpc.

Certainly someone should know this answer??????

I apologize if this has been addressed before. Would there be a difficulty hooking a Integrated Power Amp to the bottom posts on my RF-3IIs while still having the top posts hooked to my AVR. I have the old Kenwood Integrated Power Amp (KA-9100) and was wanted to use it for Stereo with my mains. Of course I would not run both at the same time. Has anyone had any experience with the KA-9100?
