You have the following possible configurations
5 monoblocs with the denon
2 channel power amp with the denon
3 channel power amp with the denon
5 channel power amp with the denon
Stereo analogue pre amplifier with HT bypass with a 2,3 or 5 channel amp *
Stereo analogue pre amplifier with HT bypass with a two x 2 channel amp for biamping
Stereo analogue pre amplifier with HT bypass with a four x monobloc amp for biamping
Stereo digital pre amplifier with HT bypass with a 2,3 or 5 channel amp
Stereo digital pre amplifier with HT bypass with a two x 2 channel amp for biamping
Stereo digital pre amplifier with HT bypass with a four x monobloc amp for biamping
Stereo analogue integrated amplifier with HT bypass with a 2,3 or 5 channel amp
Stereo analogue integrated amplifier with HT bypass with two x 2 channel amp for biamping
Stereo analogue integrated amplifier with HT bypass with four x monobloc amp for biamping
Stereo digital integrated amplifier with HT bypass with a 2,3 or 5 channel amp
Stereo digital integrated amplifier with HT bypass with a two channel amp for biamping. *
Or any other possible combination of stereo amp, denon, different number of amps, ie three monoblocs, with denon avr using for rest, or a stereo pre amp with two blocs with denon etc.
Also other options in the future so you plan ahead, for example if you decide to use your Denon as pure AV pre only and then eventually get a AV pre amp, in that case decide how that'll work with the options, number of channels of amps, the number of speakers, if you're biamping or not, the number of boxes you want. Ie if you don't want that many boxes, but you get 13 monoblocs then that would be wrong choice. But you may not want a multi-channel amp to interfere with a stereo system so you could go a 2/3+ remaining multi channel 8 channel (since LCR is most demanding)
Audiophile.no has made a list of stereo preamps and integrated amps that have one sort of HT-bypass. This list is updated 02. August 2023 with amplifiers from Hegel, and will be will be continuously updated. Written by Karl Erik Sylthe, at 15.02.07 Translated to English in june 2008Latest update...
