But using the SB's built in
Yesterday I tried my SB direct into my Rega power amp (attenuation set
at 8), must say it sounded better to me at high volumes ( I now know
why :) ).
Also, I think my AV amp (pre-outs) looses quality at a certian volume
level that I don't really go over, so it was wonderfull to have loud
sofa
Thanks SO much for the thoughtful and concise reply richidoo.
When I had the HK hooked up I did indeed use the pre-outs into the ATI
and THOUGHT I heard a bit of degradation in the highs. Maybe not as
much sparkle (now that's an audiophile term) but again the A/B system
was not very easy to
Another low cost option you could consider is using a passive preamp or
simple attenuators between the SB and your amp.
I've heard great things about the Endler attenuators:

I decided on the Luminous Audio passive because I wanted a knob. A
little more
