For the time being I am using a Denon x4200 receiver which has a pure direct button, although it still powers my subs. Thought I would like the pure direct with my turntable, a old Sanyo TP 825D, but I seem to enjoy the all channel stereo mode more. I have some Def Tech dipole towers with built in subs for my fronts.
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
