Need a little help


Hello everyone. Somewhat new to this hobby and need a little advice. My current setup is a 2.1 channel setup consisting of a Pioneer sclx-904 av receiver that I'm using as a preamp, 2 identical Anthem power amps that are feeding a pair of B&W bookshelf speakers (they are biamped). My question is this; I recently acquired an Nad preamp. Can this NAD be integrated into my existing system somehow?  What would I be gaining? I read that an external preamp can be hooked up to an av receiver, how would I do that?? Also the NAD only has one set of preout's, and does not have a dedicated sub out, I still want to use both Anthem amps and my Klipsch subwoofer, but how do I achieve this with only one set of preouts( left/ right) on the NAD?? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

If you’re only using the two speakers you don’t need or want the Pioneer involved at all.  Using a splitter isn’t optimal, but in this case you’re probably much better off using one with the NAD and something like this might work (also sold through Amazon that might be better for returns/shipping).

If you need the AVR involved for TV or something you can still use it with the NAD, but I’d need to know more if that’s the case.

Yep, keep the AV equipment out of the two channel system. It will sound better. Build from there.
