Why don’t you like McIntosh?If that was directed at me, I did not say that I don't like McIntosh. I'm not familiar with your amp, but it looks like a nice one and should have more than enough power to drive your main speakers. If you like the amp, then get a preamp with home theater bypass. As another poster described, it's super easy to switch between the preamp for 2 channel listening and back to the Marantz for home theater duties.
Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
I thought using a 12 inch b&w asw 2000 sub would b good to allow my b&w 804 d3’s to better handle freq above 80 hz (ie. benefit from sharing burden). I am not sure this is prudent as my well powered 804s can probably handle those lower frequencies just fine, and may make them sound better vs cutting them off from flowing thru the 804s.
My Stereo listening is done by streaming thru a nucleus connected via usb to a chord Hugo tt2 and then to a marantz 5014 via coaxial, then to a McIntosh mc255 and then off to speakers referred to above
Does excluding sub from stereo make sense?
