Yes, the HT pre's output for Center (and Surrounds) would go to the amps driving those speakers. The HT pre's outputs for front L and R go to the amps driving those speakers,...except routed through the Adcom (the HT by-pass switch on the Adcom, in an ideal world, means the Adcom disapears from the chain, the interconnect goes through the Adcom, but its not affected by it, its as if the HT was connected directly to the amp driving the fronts).

The adcom could be used with a HT receiver too, if it has pre-outs as well as speaker level output. For stereo you'd have Source --> Adcom --> Stereo Amp ---> Front L and R, a normal stereo system. For home theater you'd have the receiver driving all the speakers except the Adcom would lend *its* amp to the receiver to drive the fronts.

I'm probably making it sound more complicated than it is,...basically you can just think of the pass-through switch allowing the HT rca output to get routed to the amp driving the Fronts,...through the Adcom without the Adcom having any effect on the signal (theoretically).
