It's not an ideal configuration, but it can be done -- if the receiver has a 5.1 analog input. If it does, you can connect the 950's pre-amp outputs to that input, select that input on the receiver, set the receiver's volume to one position and leave it there, and you have a crude but effective amp. Some receivers also include a set of direct amp inputs that bypass everything in the receiver and connect directly to the receiver's amp section. This is pretty rare, though.
