I would like to try an experiment, but I'm scared.
I just bought a big screen TV and would like to try connecting the built in speakers as second and third center channels. How do you think my pre-amp will hold up? I'm not too concerned about extra distortion unless it becomes audible. I never listen to music with the effects on, and movies are not known for low distortion material.
By The By, I thought you guys would find this interesting. I just read an article on the internet somewhere. The guy stated that no one would want high quality main speakers for their theater system. Because no one just sits and listens to music anymore. Especially not in front of their TV. BS! I have a satilite system with 40 music channels! I sit with my coffee every morning for at least a half hour and listen to just music.

pixie,
Speaking as one who pays very little attention to video (I've got a system, but it doesn't really stir my blood), I personally can attest to the fact that there are a few dinosaurs out here who listen to music.
As to the preamp question...it will depend on how much current your preamp can deliver. Obviously, we're talking minute amounts of current, not whole amps. Other factors to consider are the input impedances of the various things you're asking the preamp to drive. For your present purposes, higher impedance is better.
When all is said and done...it'll probably work.
(And fer cryin' out loud, don't let anyone hear you say that you don't care about the "D" word--it'll ruin your reputation!)
