2 channel preamp and a/v processor setup to avoid dual volume control issues.


I have a Krell Illusion 2 channel preamp.  I also have a McIntosh MX 180 A/V processor.  Two channel sources include: McIntosh MT5 turntable with MT 100 phono amp.  Chord Hugo TT2 DAC with Chord Scaler.  Multi channel sources: Apple TV, Kaleidoscape Strato, and 4K. DVD.  Amps include two Krell Solo 575 mono blocks, Krell 5 channel amp.  Both preamps use the same speakers.   What ideas does anyone have on how to set up the system chords to avoid dual volume control issues?  Thank you

I believe the Illusion does have a bypass option. If I can use bypass on the Illusion how would the MX 180 digitally control the front speakers (mono blocks)?  I’m pretty lost here….
