How to combine 2ch int amp with HT

Hi, All.

I am planning to buy integrated amplifier (not decided which one yet) to drive B&W N804 speakers. -- My primary goal is music. But I also want to have Home Theater. So I am also going to buy a/v receiver and more speakers for surround sound.

I do not understand (I am a newbie :-) how can I combine all the pieces into a single system. Will I be able to use N804 as front speakers? How to connect all the sources? And etc.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Doodley, sorry for late answer. I thought the thread is over. I've made my mind on int amplifier: McIntosh 6500. I might upgrade to MA6900. I am looking for CD player now. Very time consuming process...

Carl, thanks for your input. Will it work with integrated amplifier? I guess not. Does the switch box downgrade sound?

Thanks!

Do you know if McIntosh MA6500 and Classe CAP-151 have Theater Bypass? I cannot figure it out reading specs on their web sites.

Thanks

So, if I use int amplifier that does not have an Theatre Bypass, it means to inc/dec sound volume I'll have to use volume controls on both int amplifier and a/v receiver?

And, two remote controls?

Thanks Reubent!

It _is_ not that bad. So I am not gonna make a Theater Bypass a critical criteria for choosing int amplifier.
