Hook the main L & R pre-outs from the receiver to the HT bypass of your integrated amp. If it hasn't got a HT bypass use the pre-in and if it hasdn't got that use another input pair such as the auxillary, but you'll need to find a suitable volume setting on your amp if you use the latter, though with the first two alternatives, the receiver pre amp will control the power amp section of the integrated. Hope you can follow that.

What are you trying to accomplish? Just adding an integrated amplifier doesn't necessarily guarantee better sound quality.

Abe this is precisely what I have done in my system, the receiver controls the center, rears and sub while the amps (pre and monoblocks in my case) control the front mains for when I'm using surround in movies or music like sacd's and dvd-a's.

My previous integrated amp had a HT bypass, but now without that input or a pre-in I have to use another input pair and set the volume control to a suitable position when using the reciever as well.
