Re: Is there an A/V Receiver with Amp-Ins?

1. If you want to run the subs from the receiver, I recommend you use a Y-connector on the "sub out", with separate interconnects to the left and right channel of your sub amp (one sub per channel). Dual mono subs seems like overkill, but I don't know the specifics of your situation.

Bridging is usually a compromise, but it can work in some instances. If you bridge, series connection would be far better than parallel, because bridged operation with parallel amps and 8 ohm speakers will create a punishing 2-ohm load.

I've heard people say the "sub out" works in stereo on the T751, but it doesn't in my system. I don't use the receiver for stereo anyway, and I don't like a HT sub for music.

2. A separate power amp for the main channels is an obvious solution but I didn't mention it because it's expensive.

As much as I like the NAD receiver, it may be simplest to go with another brand. I doubt if anything in its price range will touch it for music though, if that matters to you.
