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!

You have what you need using the 1:3 splitter recommendation and keeping the Pioneer avr out of the mix for many reasons others have suggested.

WHY are you thinking you still need the Pioneer AVR in the mix, and for some other reason you’ve not shred yet here? For what purpose does it still serve?

It's not that I'm dead set on keeping the receiver in play; I'm more concerned with my question about the NAD and only having a L/ R preout and keeping both amps and the subwoofer in play...

The splitter suggested above will split  your single L/R output three ways.  You only need two, one for your Anthems and one for your sub.
