[QUOTE="msch997, post: 1010373, member: 2518"] I am the OP and the responses here have been interesting and confirmed what I believed, that even using Pre outs to better and stronger amplification you still have the existing inbuilt amplification a role in signal quality. The Video ken masters included with the Pre Out voltages displayed was eye opening. Manufacturers are not there to save the consumer money, they are there to sell units and their strategy on new releases is to tempt you away from your old where possible. The 2020 Denon ranges that provide this Pre Out with disconnection of the internal amplification functionality do so on an all or nothing basis, if you have a 9 channel AVR all 9 channels go to preamp mode thus you need 9 channels of external amplification. It is not switch off the front 3 where the external amplification is connected while lets keep using the remaining 6 internal channels to drive the balance of the speakers which are connected to the AVR. Full disclosure I have nothing against Denon my current AVR is a Denon X4500H and I use some of the Pre Outs. In the past I have had AVR's from Onkyo and even Harman Kardon back in the day so an AVR agnostic. [/QUOTE]
