I use the app too now. Switched to it just a month or so back and it has made things extremely convenient and IMO, more flexible to control than just doing it through receiver. Anyway, I will do just that. Now just have to wait for the external amp to arrive.

Excellent! That was exactly the corroboration I was hoping for. I will eventually switch to how you are running your system too except probably sometime next year. I was looking to buy the Emotiva Gen3 XPA-11 so I don’t have to buy multiple external amps but seems they are in extremely short...

Thanks for proving the FAQ link. I found this in that thread and this directly answered my question:

Per above, I will just go with this use case: I don't really listen at very high volumes anyway. To give y'all an idea, while I have occasionally cranked volume up to ~ 75 dB on a scale of 0 - 98, I usually go no more than ~ 65 dB anyway. That is plenty loud for my needs. Even at 75 dB, I...

Agreed 8500 has that ability to selectively turn off amplifier for specific channels but 6500 doesn't. So my intention is to connect external amp through pre-outs while all built-in amps are still active albeit in power saving mode. My only concern was if this way will work because I have not...

Any other feedback? I am thinking of buying either Emotiva or Monolith 5 - 7 channel amplifier to accomplish what I stated above. I guess all I am looking for is confirmation that my quest will not end up as fool's errand.

To answer your question, I have full range LCRs and I want to feed them more power than built-in amps in the receiver can provide. Plus isn't the sole purpose of pre-outs are so clean signal can be externally amplified? Plus, I wouldn't think I am adding any risk if I add a Monolith or Emotiva...

Hi all, Here is my situation. I have a Denon AVR-X6700H and currently running in 7.2.4 mode, so I use all built-in amplifiers of the receiver. However, I want to add an external amplifier which will power my LCR speakers but I still want to use built-in amplifier for the rest. I know Denon has...
