description: My question is if you have to buy a guitar amp AND a stack of speakers, or if you can only buy the amp (maybe the behringer preamp V-AMPII), and hook it up to your hifi system and listen to it from there. thank you

description: The speaker, cabinet, and cab resonances are an important part of the sound of a guitar amp/spkr. You can play your guitar through home stereo speakers, but the tone will be very dry and lackluster.

description: If his guitar amp has a "Line Out" or "Preamp Out", he can route that signal through a Y-cable with RCA phono plugs, and go into an auxillary, tape in, or other line level input on the stereo system. The Y-cable will allow the signal to go to both Left and Right channels. He may want to use a mixer of some sort, to first mix his guitar signal with a prerecorded backup, such as the Jamie Aebersold CD's sold by www.jazzbooks.com. Then from the mixer into a line level input on the stereo.
