source:minix neo x8-h plus
receiver:Denon AVR 2700
speakers:JBL Northridge (E90 L,R) (E30 RL,RR) (EC35 center. internal Tweeter die replaced with external Tweeter Pyramid TW28)
Sub woofer: H-100 Premier Acoustic PA-120
power amplifier:hafler 500 for L,R front

i want connect one of this amplifiers to my center channel from the pre-output center of the receiver.
later on i want to upgrade my receiver since this one don't have any pre-output for rear L&R.
or there is any way to jump speaker wires to this amplifiers ?
i have read a little bit of the manuals but i am not sure if this amplifiers is going to work independents channels like stereo for the rear speakers
I use this setup mostly for movies.

Your avr has only pre-outs for the fronts and the sub. Your L/R surrounds should be fine with your avr's amps in any case. You need phoenix connectors for the amps. I made some rca to phoenix connectors for a similar Crest amp I picked up recently. Go to parts-express.com for components to make some or a pre-made like this http://www.parts-express.com/atlas-sound-as2rca-3m-phx-male-rca-to-phoenix-connector-cable-98-ft-(3m)--242-9471

ps How noisy are the amps? Are you sure you need additional power for the fronts?

Your current speakers spec'd at 91db and 8ohm. Connect that to Denon 2700 avr and you would get insanely loud without any external amp.

8150 is multichannel distribution amp - you won't need until you decide to do multi-room audio.
752 is integ amp - rated at 75w - less than your denon I believe
Just sell both - and use money towards new speakers.

i think i'm gonna use the just the 8150T for the center speaker, and the hafler 500 for the front R,L.
i do still need the RCA To Phoenix connector for the 8150T ?
for connecting just the center speaker and the tweeters ?
how will you connect the speaker wires to this amp ?


can the uma 752 be used to work for any 3.5mm audio jack output ? like for PC,cellphones?

Amp overkill! Lots of guys do it in any case. I had a Hafler a long time ago....

On first glance thought it was only phoenix inputs like my Crest, but I do see a few rcas now. Have you looked at manuals for either unit? Should address your questions better than my glance at pictures of the backs :)

Speaker wiring should be relatively simple from amp to speaker, just need some speaker wire....

OTOH connections from your avr/pre-amp/source to amp that's another conversation. Have you looked at the manuals yet?
