Simple set up but difficult for the ignorance


Currently in the process of building a dedicated 2 channel audio room and decided to add 5.1 HT channel. My Conrad Johnson Preamp has a theatre bypass and as such I can make use of the front speakers as my left and right HT speaker. Can I make use of my Denon AVR to power the centre speaker as well as the surround speakers. If so how do I connect the wiring?Also which is the better set up configuration : putting rack behind front speakers and use a long HDMI cable (abt 30ft long) to connect to Projector or putting rack at the side of my couch and connect a long interconnect to the CJ preamp? Your assistance is much appreciated. Happy listening

Chadnliz, I suspect so. I m wondering whether my 2yrs+ old Denon 3805 AVR 7.1 with 120watts is good enough to power the center n surround speakers. Is considering using Denon as a processor and buying a used multichannel amp. Unfortunately hardly any 240V multichannel amp in audiogon. With multiple channel amp how many more interconect I need & connections? Also wld it be a prob if I use diff brand speaker for my center & surround speakers eg KEF HT 9000 ACE. Any matching issue? I find the new von schweikert center speaker prohibitively expensive to match my frt VR4SR. Any feedbk is appreciated. TQ
TQ for the offer. Is that the 1 on audiogon with supertweeter VR LCR 15? I m afraid shipping charge from USA will be prohibitive. Anyway no harm knowing abt the offer? tq for your assistant
