OK I am doing my installation later this week!

Only question I still have is regarding my digital source. I have the Chord Hugo2/2 Go combo and it has a Gigabit (GbE) ethernet wired connection but I can’t use that, right?

Looking at the manual I am getting a little confused since it looks like those speaker ports are only for Powerlink or Service so I guess I can’t wire directly?

If I use Toslink for a direct connection to my DAC then it’s fairly confusing. Do I connect the left speaker to the right one and then the right one to the Hugo2?

Any advice?

OK inching closer thanks to all of you!!!!

So use the preamp outs L+R front channels to the speakers and set them to L and R respectively?

And for my center channel, sub and rear channels (currently KEF speakers but plan to upgrade to B+O) I just leave them as-is, hooked up to their speaker terminals on my preamp.

Will my preamp just know to send the front signals out of the pre-outs and the rest of the speaker signals through the speaker outputs?

Will the preamp volume control know how to equalize everything for volume levels or is that a system menu thing on my preamp?

So I suppose the RCA inputs are a better choice than using the Toslink in your opinion?

I am trying to understand how it all works together. I have a 5.1 setup. My rears, sub and center are still going to run off my amplifier but the 18’s will be independent and run off the pre-outs with their internal amps?
