FLAC files .. Where do you get them? .. Burn them to CD?

I was just thinking again.
Looking at the back panel of that TX-8050 Network Reciever, this is a photo of the audio pre-outs that would connect the reciever's pre-amp section to the pair of power amps I was going to buy.
You notice that there is only 1 set of RCA audio pre-out jacks here (left side of photo). Would you need a splitter so you can run the RCA interconnect cables to both the power amps ... Or could another set of the RCA interconnects be plugged into the "Zone 2" audio pre-out jacks for the 2nd pair of speakers?
Thank's

If the power amps are mono's then one is the LEFT and one is the RIGHT so each amp only has ONE input. If you plan on using (2) stereo amps for the front, then yes, you'll need a splitter because you will nee (2) LEFT and (2) RIGHT."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.

The power amps are 2-channel stereo. Again, here is a photo of the connections on the back of the power amp:

Why are using 2 of them again? I haven't really followed what you are trying to do that closely. I thought you were doing a 2ch rig, but maybe I misunderstood and you are doing a multi channel HT rig.
EDIT:
I read post #31 so I see what you are wanting to do. Have no idea why, as that would give you some odd sound, but if that's what you want to do then you will need Y splitters to run (2) stereo amps from the pre-out on that particular piece of gear."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.

I would like to just use Onkyo components.
The way I have looked at this 2-channel / 4 speaker setup is:
#1. I could buy just an integrated amp and then a Squeezebox
#2. Or I could buy just a Network Stereo Reciever since I understand that it will do about the same thing as the integrated amp combined with the Squeezebox (as shown in #1) ... Seems like the simplest setup
#3. But since I want more power than the 80 w/ch the Network Stereo Reciever gives, I though about using all the capability (and the pre-amp section of the Network Stereo Reciever has .. and then just use 2 ea 100 w/ch power amps to power the 4 speakers (1 amp to power the fronts, and 1 amp to power the rears).
I can't see how this setup would give poor sound quality since it really is nothing but a separate pre-amp (the Network Stereo Reciever) and 2 power amps. Lots of people use a separate pre-amp and then 1 or 2 power amps. The really only difference is that I would not have to buy a separate Squeezebox (If I understand correctly that this Network Stereo Reciever will do pretty much the same thing as the Squeezebox will do).
Ron, -
I looked at the on-line owners manual for the power amp we are talking about - As far as wireing between the Reciever (pre-amp) and the 2 separate power amps, the owner's manual says:
Connect the Lft/Rt RCA output of the reciever to the Lft/Rt RCA input of the first power amp. Then connect the Lft/Rt RCA output of that first power amp to the Lft/Rt input of the second power amp.
Simple I guess
