Home theater integration

[jbraveman]

I love my quickie and I do mostly 2 channel music listening.  However, I want to use my 2 main speakers as mains in my home theater setup as well.  My HT reciever (outlaw 1050) has some preamp outs designed for use with separate amps.  The Outlaw tech I spoke with suggested that I could run the quickie in front of my 2 monoblocks from these outputs.  I've given it a shot and it sounds pretty good. The advantage of this arrangement also is I can use more sources than the 2 that the quickie allows by having everything connected to the reciever.

My 2 ch setup was: Turtable/squeezebox > quickie > outlaw 2200 monoblocks > paradigm studio 100 v 2
What I'm trying:  sources > outlaw 1050 > L/R front pre outs > quickie > monoblocks > speakers

What would the best way to pull this off aside from having 2 separate rigs run side by side?

Would an amplifier switch be a better choice?

What do people do who want to run more than 2 sources through the quickie?

Thanks,
Josh

Hey another "Outlaw" that's cool
I have/had the 1050 with my system. Letting my oldest son "borrow" it for now. That is until I get my old Cyrus 2 cleaned up and running. Has a very noisy pot. I highly recommend you feed your Quickie the pre-outs from the Outlaw. I had this arrangement in place for a long time. I found the Outlaw to be mostly transparent. In some ways there was a little dryer sound with a deeper soundstage. Less forward sound, a little more laid back. This was a clear advantage when I was running my Visaton B200 unfiltered in an Open Baffle arrangement.

Thanks for the feedback.  I need some validation for how I have things hooked up.
