    Wow thanks. I know it sounded stupid but the manual and the Onkyo forum shed no light on it, and I did not want to see smoke.

    I am getting my mains this weekend, a one owner set of pristine condition RTA 11's I know they need to be driven harder than the 705 will do in full HT mode with 6 ohm speakers all the way around. Again thanks

    Ok I got the amp and did a test run on the amp, What happen? Dull, dull,dull. Is using the Onkyo as a pre amp wrong?

    What did you do wrong?
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant
