All you need is one more shelf for a 2channel pre amp to combine already owned gear for movies with quality amp and pre for 2 channel listening. Oh and you need 2 more RCA cables ;)
Upgrade strategy -- midfi to higher-fi
I am developing a multi-year plan to move to much higher end components instead of the Rotel 1056 receiver and B&W LCR6's I have now.
Step one was to get a new Oppo BD-95. I will most likely go the secondary market for everything else.
Step two is ??? Speakers or amp or prepro?
I'm looking at McIntosh amps right now since I can feed them from the Rotel. Maybe in a couple of years I can get the just announced MX-121 pre/pro (or should I get Anthem gear instead?).
I am considering B&W 805's or maybe some Usher be-718's for the front.
I appreciate the input for my novice-like questions.
