I never scaled down to nothing. I have my two channel for serious listening and my muti-channel for movies, all incorporated in the same room. However, the room is very large. And no it doesn't look cluttered.
Can you think of a reason not to?
Hello everyone,
I’ve loved audio (2-channel) since my teenage years and when home theater came out, well as expensive as it was I found a way to afford it. I traded in a beautiful 2-channel Onkyo Integra m-504 amplifier for an Integra 5-channel, I forget the model. Then I upgraded to an Anthem A5. Well I figured more power is always better so I sold the A5 and bought an Anthem P5.
Although an awesome piece of gear, I decided to scale down, sell my Paradigm Studio 20’s used for surround channels, the CC690 center, and two of my three REL 528 subwoofers.
What I have left is the Anthem P5, an AVM60, one REL R528, two Paradigm and two Sigature S2’s.
Im basically scaling down to a 2-channel system for simplicity and convenience. Here’s my thoughts and would love to get some opinions. I’m selling the P5 and possibly the AVM60 to make room for a P2 and a 2-channel pre amp. The P5 is a beast! If I keep it, I’ll always have three extra channels if one malfunctions and for trouble shooting. But on the other hand having this heavy amp is somewhat inconvenient and way overkill. If I found a P2 I’d even consider a trade.
How about some thoughts from the audio world?
