This might sound like a bit of a daft question but I wanted to check before I tried it.

I've got a
  • Marantz 7702 processor
  • 7 channel Nakamichi/Iota AVP1 power amp
  • Arcam A80 amp.

Is there any reason I shouldn't connect both the Marantz and the Arcam to the same power amp but different channels?
  • Potentially Marantz L/R into the AV bypass on the A80 (I think it's Tape in)
  • Arcam preout L/R into amps 1 & 2 on the AVP1 (cd player, streamer, vinyl direct into A80)
  • Marantz other channels into amps 3-7 on the AVP1
Pure tomfoolery to see if the A80 acting as a pre might give me better stereo.
