You can't beat 2 channel stereo for music listening. Home theatre systems sound like garbage when used for music. And, if you think about it, you can listen to an album dozens of times but can barely watch the same movie more than about twice. So why spend hords of money on a home theatre system?Stick to high end pure audio!!!!
I give up on HT
After auditioning several home theater preamp processors and not getting the two channel sound i expected. I took the advice of previous threads and purchased a line stage preamp, I got a conrad johnson model pf-r and life is great. This website has loads of good info if you dare to wade in. Now all i have to do is figure out how to hook up my home theater receiver into the loop.
