How do I do it?


I have a 2 channel setup, which I love and want to keep as is: computer, DAC/Pre, powered speakers. The plan is to put a big TV on the wall and add home theater to the room.

Preferably, I'd like to incorporate the 2 powered speakers as the mains: L, R channels in the home theater setup, instead of purchasing new front channel speakers. But also want to be able to continue to use them in the 2 channel system.

I understand I need 3-5 more speakers, but what else do I need? How do I proceed? Thanks..

IMO if your 2 channel system is properly setup, you don't need the added speakers. The added gear, expense and trouble doesn't warrant the benefit. The benefit is having two speakers behind your head.

For a 2 channel HT system the only additional gear you may need is a processor to decode the TV signal and convert it to analog. If you have cable box with analog outs you don't even need it, as you can take the signal from the box.
