| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? I was struggling with the same issue. I decided that I would set up a home theater system and then add a two channel system off of front pre-outs of the HT receiver. I wasn't to do that because when listening to music I don't want all of the sig... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? I pulled the trigger on a Yamaha 2080 to take care of the home theater duties. Still need to pick the integrated amp to do the two channel work. I’m now considering either the Yamaha A-S2200 or the Rotel 1592 mkii. I’m looking for an amp that w... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Thanks @balooo2. You are not making this easier! LOL! It's hard to figure out what to do and I'm looking for reasons to take these off the list. | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? @mikelavigne - thanks for the tip on the Trinnov. I love the idea but it’s quite a bit more than I want to spend. Even if it could be upgraded into the future I’m not ready to commit to that level of cost. Very cool product though @balooo2 ... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Latest thought after doing more reading reviews... Option 1 - NAD is out. I just dont see their feature set being comparable and I'm not seeing any reviews of anyone saying that the products I'm considering are all that amazing. Option 2 - Yama... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? So I’ve been doing some shopping based on @soix suggestions and here is what I have come up with. Note that my set up will have ceiling mounted front and rear speakers so I need a 4 speaker Atmos system. All of these systems combine a HT with an i... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Its not ideal but I think its useful to see if you can hear relative differences between two components in the same video. It’s not going to give you an absolute impression of how each component sounds but rather a relative comparison between the ... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? @soix I'm looking around to set up a system like you suggested. There are actually lots of intersting options as well as some deals on what I think are good quality 2 channel integrated amps. For example, there is a Parasound Halo Integrated Amp ... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Yes, I stumbled across their Halo Preamp. It looks like its set up explicitly to address what I am attempting to do. I also found this list... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Questions: 1.) In your suggested set up, when we are watching a movie is the integrated amp powering the two front channel speakers? 2.) When I am listening to the two channel configuration I assume that I am controlling the volume using the vol... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? NAD is just one possibility. I’ve heard NAD amps in the past and I was impressed by the sound quality. But open to others. Similarly, I heard an Anthem 740 at a local shop and it sounded pretty good too. In the set up you are describing would I ... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Thanks again. Its a good thing I’m asking! What I currently have is as follows: Receiver: Pioneer VSX 822. (I was going to get rid of this) Speakers are: Warfedale Diamond 9.0 and 9.1 for the rear L/R and Front L/R 1 x Martin Logan Motion SLM ... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? More thinking and maybe I understand... Are you saying I could take the Receiver and wire up all of the speakers to the out puts on the Receiver except for the Front Left and Right. For those channels I would connect from the Preamp Out Front Lef... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? That sounds interesting. Would you mind giving me more detail on how that could work? Maybe with some specific components of your choosing? I’m getting all new gear except for the speakers so open to suggestions. I do currently have all of the spe... | |
| Emotiva or Anthem or Something Else? Thanks. Although I have read a bunch of reviews of people talking about issues with the software on the Anthem products too. How would I incorporate a separate 2 channel system via the Preamp outputs on the Anthem? I was actually trying to fi... |
