The Luxman doesn't have a processor pass thru that I can see. Does the Oppo have a 2 channel out put seperate from the 6 channel? And if I understand your system you want to use the same front two speakers for both HT and 2 Channel right? If yes what amp do you want running the fronts, the Rotel or the Luxman?
2 channel vs 5.1
Hello all, I'm new here - enjoy home audio/video but I'm not a serious hobbyist or good at at connecting gear. My current setup is Rotel: 1098 pro/1075amp and 970 phono preamp. It is joined with a Dish Network HD dvr, Oppo BDP83 and a Rega P3 turntable. Speakers are B&W 803 mains/B&W center and Energy surrounds/Energy sub. The Oppo Blu-Ray is connected via multi channel analog cables to the Rotel 1098. I wanted to have a better two channel rig, and I got a Luxman L-505u yesterday. What are your ideas on how to keep 5.1 and add the two channel setup i.e., connections/operation? Is there a way to connect/use the Oppo as either 5.1 or two channel easily? Thanks much, the Brisket_eater.
