By a strange coincidence, I have a customers who wants to blow most of his budget on my speakers and make do for a while with inexpensive amplification to drive them.

Good man. 

The speakers are not difficult to drive but I do have a couple of requirements and I'm wondering whether the Rotel 1062 could fit the bill:

1. Is there provision for a 'preamp out' socket so that the Rotel could drive a bass filter/crossover and another power amp?

2. Does it have an 'AV bypass' ('unity gain input') as the customer has a large AV projector and would like to use the hi-fi for this purpose as well?

Finally, if the Rotel 1062 doesn't work for this application, does anyone know a good, inexpensive amplifier (probably pre/power) that would?

Thanks in advance.
