I have a Rotel 5 channel amp and want to both listen to 5-7 channel surround but also listen to my B&W speakers in stereo. I want to replace my Rotel preamp with a decent AVR with Pure sound option and pre-outs for left/right and maybe center? Looking at Marantz cinema 70 or 60. Opinions?
One receiver for both ht and 2 channel (diff speakers)
I'm trying to set up a multi channel ht system. Maybe including height speakers and 2 small subwoofers. I plan to use book shelf size speakers for the ht.
I would also like to run a separate 2 channel system with larger full range floor standers.
Can I do this using 1 high quality receiver?
If the receiver had a powered zone 2 would this work for the 2 channel?
Or would I need to use preouts with external amp for the 2 channel?
Was thinking about a Marantz 6014
