Some of you may be following my other thread regarding the differences in quality between Onkyo and Yamaha. The concensus so far is that I forget those two brands and go for a nice pre-amp/amp situation, perhaps NAD or Cambridge Soundworks.
Well, I've got a chance to get two Marantz MA-500 mono amps and am wondering if it is worth it to run them off of my Yamaha reciever's pre-outs. I assume if I do that, I will bypass the Yamaha's integrated amp and defer to the Marantz amps.

Will this work out will with my studio setup? (see list below).
My main question is if the pre-amp's quality is as important as the amps?
