Can I use both Amp and Reciever to power different speakers

[Prashant Awataney]

Hi,
I have already bought Marantz SR5010, which is 7.2 AV receiver, I am eyeing outlaw 5000 Amp, it can power 5 channels. I have a 7.2 setup using bass shaker, My question is
can I power 5 channels using outlaw 5000, and Front high or back high (6 th and 7th speakers) using Marantz receiver? Would it work?

Thanks for your inputs.

Hi!

The SR5010 does not have amplifier pre-outs, so there is no way to use an external amp of any kind. You will need to upgrade to the SR6010 to have that option.

I don't think that is correct,I see 7 Preout channels.

RCA preouts? Not the + - speaker terminals...

Connections:

• HDMI 2.0 audio/video switching: 8 in (includes 1 front-panel input), 2 out
  • HDCP 2.2 technology ensures compatibility with 4K Ultra HD sources and TVs (all HDMI inputs and outputs)
• component video switching: 2 in, 1 out
• composite video switching: 3 in, 1 out (includes front-panel input)
• digital audio inputs: 2 optical and 2 coaxial
• 5 analog stereo audio inputs
• 7.2-channel preamp outputs include outputs for 2 powered subwoofers

I didnt think so either, but looks so on the 10 model year

SR 5010, correct? Go look at your receiver!

Yeah thats what I am looking at, straight off the Marantz site.

 

[Prashant Awataney]

Yes Sir, that is from my Receiver.

 

[crossedover]

Yes you can..

 

[Prashant Awataney]

I think I got my answer, I can power 5 channels using outlaw and 2 surround from reciever, Thanks for your help TheWarrior.

My eyes deceived me, yes there are pre-outs on the 5010!

 

[Prashant Awataney]

Thank you guys

At least it was your eyes, it was my mind

When you use the pre-outs I thought the avr would internally switch the speaker out put off and deliver the signal through the pre-out ?? Therefore leaving the speaker outputs doa , am I wrong ?

Yes, for the pre outs active.

That's a pretty common configuration. I also have a 7-channel AVR and 5-channel amp. I use the AVR preouts to the amp for Left/Center/Right/Left Surround/Right Surround. I run speaker wire directly from the AVR to the Back L/R Surrounds.

It works fine. Be sure to re-run Audyssey to make sure everything is balanced.
