Question about connecting both HT and Stereo

thanks for the input.... i was kinda thinking that.. right now i have a Yamaha RX-V1000. so i could use that to power the center channel and the run the L&R pre-outs to an input on the 2 channel pre? i was thinking of going with the Parasound Halo 23 2 channel amp, but haven't decided on a pre.. any suggestions there? i would like something that accurately reproduces the sound and doesn't color anything.

TIC,

good questions... my speakers are Def Tech 2004tl's. i know people think they are better HT speakers but i really like the music sound they put out as well. so that may tell you my taste in sound a little. i use analysis plus speaker (oval 9) and interconnect cables (copper-in). i use to own a sony 9000es, but sold it and haven't replaced it yet. was thinking of the new sony 999es, but honestly if i could get better CD playback from a non SACD player i would do that, and purchase a denon DVD player. my setup will be in a pretty big room, meaning my living room in open to the 2nd floor, 18' ceiling with 6 big windows. i will be placing the speaker on the outside of my entertainment center which is about 10' across, so i would say the speakers will be about 12' apart, sitting about 1' from the wall. thanks for all your help

How does the SSP throughput work???

yeah i would like to get a used CD player for under $800, then i could use a dedicated DVD player and possible utilizez it for its SACD as well once again around the 600-800 used range. thanks for all the advice. i really like the BAT stuff, but it seems a little too high for me right now.
