Combining home theater with two channel

I know it sounds like hokum but it is not.  For me, full HT is less important than sound quality.  So I am going the two channel route for TV and movie streaming.   I find that it is more than adequate for HT duties. But now music streaming is so much better.   

I have a NAD C368 and Bluesound node 2i streaming Tidal MQA. I have a PS Audio S300 power amplifier that had been in use with the AVR. Speakers are Revel Performa F206.

The TV source is Apple 4k via HDMI and then audio out to the NAD via optical out.  It works very well in my small listening room.  The room is filled with the HT sound. 
It took me the best part of Covid to come to the realization that I needed to shift my point of view. I am sure you can work something out with your deal so that you can demo the preamp/integrated in your house. 

And while you are laying around you can always have some fun and try switching to a two channel set up. You would have everything you would need.

It is a paradigm shift but is well worth trying out to see if it might be an option. 

Have fun!!

I just purchased the parasound JC 5 stereo amplifier and the JC 2Bp pre amp to add to my HT. I hope it’s worth the money I spent . In the beginning, one can waste a lot of money on this hobby because of plain old ignorance ,but im learning. thanks to site like this one im getting a better understanding. Thank you all for your help.

Oh! by the way, what is everyone thoughts about my purchase?

Always keep it separate...two different animals. You are compromising two channel by combining out of convenience. Great sound is not always convenient or easy, but worth the effort. Don’t ask what I think about adding a sub to a two channel set up....🙄 it’s "2" channel, not "2.1"...buy speakers that do bass...you do not need to get all the way down to 20 hz to be satisfied..at minimum 35 to 40 hz will be fine. 

Hello,
I have been where you are. I dont mind your purchase. But I feel like you wasted money that you did not have to. Your not buying more speakers so you are combining HT and 2ch together. Emotiva makes a fully differential linear balanced 2 channel preamp. XSP-1. It has HT pass through, subwoofer management, and even matches your amps. It sells for $800 used. It does not have a DAC. I bought a used XDS-2 DAC to go with it for $300 used.  I own this and is very good for the money. But. As long as the Parasound has HT bypass, which I believe they do you did solve your problem very well. HT processors have so much DSP sound manipulation you won’t even notice the front two amps are different. Now that you have two extra amps I think you should add some height speakers. In fact you might get two more of the model you have and do a 5.4.1 system. Or keep the original 7.1 layabout and go 7.2.1. If you don’t have two rows of seating I would go 5.4.2. Yes, get another sub if you don’t have two. I am doing the same you are doing but with the 7704 model. I hope this helped.
