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

Hi..i have a set up where i have my 2 fronts (B&W 702 S3) connected to the Douk VU3 Switch along with the NAD M10V2 for music.  I have the Marantz SR8015 amp connected to the switch and the rest of my speakers connected to the Marantz (7.1.4).  When i want to listen to music, i switch to the NAD amp and when i want home theater i switch to the Marantz amp.  It works great.  I also have a pro Ject Box 2 phono preamp connected to the NAD so i can listen to my turntable using stereo..
