Can a separate power amplifier get along with the receiver?

you can use the tape record output to get signal to the preamp and from the pramp to the power amp.

Well, maybe, ...if he wants to run the Hafler full blast all the time, but I doubt that's the case.

Tape outs are before volume controls and that power amp has no level controls.

I know mark, thats why I said that he will need a preamp for the power amp so he can control the volume from the preamplifier.

... do you really, really think that's a viable solution?

Remember, this is not a two channel system. Balancing the volume between the front R/L and the center and surround channel every time he change the listening level would be an incredible hassle, doncha think?
