Fmcorps,

Yup! to what soundhound said. You would need preamp out AND poweramp in jacks so that you could insert a high pass circuit in order for you to (optimally) use your receiver's power amps stage as an amp for the highrange section of your speakers.

You could still allow the the reciver's amp to get a full range signal and rely solely on the passive speaker crossover. This will mean that the receiver's amp will be somewhat wasting itself amplifying low frequency signals that will not reach the speaker drivers.

An alternative is to have someone modify the receiver to:

1) Add or modify the value of a signal coupling capacitor so that the receivers amp is not getting unwanted low frequency signal.

or

2) Break the connection between the preamp and power amp stages and add power amp input connectors on the back of the receiver chassis.

Either of these actions will void any warranty.
