Integrated amps with a Home Theater Bypass feature range from the Marantz PM8005 ($1,200) and Music Hall a70.2 ($1,500), to Parasound’s Halo Integrated ($2,495) and the Musical Fidelity M6500I ($7,000). Then, when you select other components connected to your integrated amp, such as a turntable, CD player, or external DAC, its volume control will operate normally. When you select this input, the signal will bypass the preamp’s gain controls, letting you use your integrated amp purely as a stereo amplifier without having to worry about adjusting volume when watching movies-the receiver’s own volume control takes over that function. Integrated amps with a home theater-bypass feature are a great option for those like yourself who want to integrate high-end stereo playback with a conventional surround sound receiver for movies.īasically, home theater-bypass is a stereo RCA jack input on an integrated amp or preamp that hooks up with the main left/right outputs on your A/V receiver.

Got a tech question for Sound & Vision? Email us at I have a Denon A/V receiver hooked up to a 5.1-channel speaker system. The setup works fine for movies, but every now and then I want to listen to good ol’ stereo recordings ( I have a modest collection of CDs stored as Apple lossless audio files).
