I have a seperate music and HT system that shares the same 2 channel speakers and two channel amp. I feel that in order to get the most from music a good 2 channel preamp and 2 channel amp is really necessary. I have done the HT setup for music and found it to be greatly lacking. Anyhow, all I do is run the front preamp outs from my HT preamp/processor into the aux input on my 2 channel preamp. When I want to use the HT, I select the aux input and set the volume level to 12:00 on the 2 channel preamp. If your 2 channel preamp does not have a unity gain feature (mine does not), then you will need to pick a fixed volume position on your 2 channel preamp. The fixed volume position is for HT calibration.

Your amplification, I use a multi-channel amp (in combination with my 2 channel music amp) to power my center, rears and subwoofer for HT duities.

Hope this helps.
