  Use two amps, a 5.1 speaker set up, and an additional pair of stereos.
  One good stereo amp wired as normal to the additional stereos then take the tape/monitor loop output to a seperate AV amp input. Switch the speaker off on system one, and on for system two. Do not connect any speaker to both amps.

  Best of bnoth world! But expensive.

  I had the Rotel 5.1 receiver (model before the current one). I still found two channel a bit lacking for me. I tried an older Proceed separates system, actually Proceed Processor and Classe multichannel amp and then finally the Pioneer flagship before this one, the 49tx without the i. Anyway I have gone to a Linn Classic Movie system. I prefer it to any of the others for music. I have a sub and always use a crossover so don't need much power in my smallish room. If a lower power unit would suit your needs I highly recommend the Linn. I picked up a dealer demo for $1500 on audiogon and they do pop up there from time to time.

  I'm sure others will follow with more suggestions.

    I have had both NAD and Rotel and find the Rotel much sonically better rival but then again the last time I owned any Rotel equipment was with the AVR that came out with AC-3 for laserdiscs.

    I have been reading good reviews on the RSP-1066 and RSP-1098. Does the RSP-1098 compare to the Denon 58xx series ? I know you still have to get a muti-channel amp.

      I also prefer Rotel, alot of others like NAD more though. I can't compare to the Denon as I haven't heard a Denon piece for some time.
