Meridian Digital Speakers with Normal Preamp


Hello,

I'm thinking about getting a pair of Meridian digital speakers, and was wondering if they would work with a normal preamp (Arcam, McIntosh, etc)? I think I have a digital output on my pre-amp, but I would assume that digital output has all 5 channels on it. Does the speaker know which channel to pick from a DD/DTS/stereo digital signal?

Thanks,
Chris

Meridian speakers allow for direct connection with 2.0 "stereo", but require a Meridian processor for true 5.1 "surround". It's not complicated, but Meridian has their own way of handling processing. ;)
