RE: Some more information.....

As Tom says, use the speaker level inputs for the REL. You will be running the Guarneri Mementos full range but they're simply going to roll off at low frequency levels anyway and they're a very well made speaker so their drivers shouldn't have problems with the low frequency side of things unless you really push the volumes.

If you've already got the Krell processor, however, I'd tend to keep it. It will definitely give you more options with the sub and with the Guarneris than a normal pre will do. You may be able to get a bit better 2 channel performance from a normal pre but you will also lose some performance quality with movies. You may lose some low end quality with music also since the Krell may do a better job of integrating the sub with the mains using the REL's low level input than you can do with the REL's high level input if you swap to a normal pre.

My preference, if it were my system and used for both music and movies, would be to keep the flexibility offered by the Krell processor. I can't see that approach losing much in the way of sound quality and it may actually gain some sound quality if you're also using the sub for music.
