I have a somewhat similar problem. I have a pretty good Yamaha A/V amp (sorry, I don't know the details), but it gives me no option for listening to simple 2 channel stereo! The closest it gets is 5 channel stereo, and so I have placed a high power A/B speaker selector switch at the center channel speaker, and switch it to B (no input) when I want to just hear stereo output. You could use a similar setup with a stereo high power speaker selector switch (Radio Shack), and use input "A" from A/V and "B" from the amp. The Ratio Shack switch is a passive, mechanical switch, rated for 100 Watts. There are other electric switches which will handle more power.
