A stereo pre with HT bypass is the best option. It's the best of both worlds for everything in one room.
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.. |
@dennis041992 I recently purchased an Onkyo RZ-50 I use for A/V that feed my 5.2.1 speakers (B&W). Running 2 Parasound amps for this, through per-outs on the receiver. In zone 2, I have connected my analog (TUBE) setup for stereo mode to feed my (LaScala’s). The setup is almost broken in on the Onkyo, the sound is starting to jive in the 2 channel setup. I mostly listen to LP’s so after that session, I’ll either go to the tuner or TIDAL which I just downloaded last week. Which makes it convenient to listen to an LP before purchase. |
