Ditto on the receiver. Any model with outputs for the front channels will work. The downside is the rats nest of wires you will have when you hook this up. I have a set up like this and am thinking of getting rid of the receiver to simplify my system. 5.1 is great for the few movies that have great soundtracks, but for most films, a good two channel system is good enough.
2-Channel to home Theater
I'm currently building a 2-channel system consisting of teh following components:
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Tube Preamp
Thorens TTA2300 Dual Mono Amp (140 wpc, totally separate power supplies and cords -- very sweet)
Joseph Audio RM25Si Loudspeakers
Camelot Round Table DVD/CD Player
Panasonic CT34wx50 16:9 34" Direct View
If I want to go multi-channel at some later date, what would be the best way to go for electronics? Does anyone have recommendations for a surround processor that would mesh well in this system?
