I know that this might not be the best way for 2-channel playback but due to space limitations my system is HT/2 Channel. This is why I'm considering intergrateds that incorporate a HT passthrough.
The other route is to get a HT pre amp that does 2-channel well. My choices would be the Brytson SP1.7 and the Anthem D1 that's all that my budget will allow. I would have to get amps first as I'm using a reciever.
