In Reply to: Help - I have two seperate systems posted by fergy on June 17, 2000 at 22:04:16:
Just buy a pair of Def. Tech speakers (they aren't too expensive) and totally separate the two systems. Won't cost you much and you'll get tons of low bass with the DTs so you might not even need the sub in there (for a while anyway). They are superb HT speakers.Plus think of how much nicer everything will sound once you get rid of the headache of trying to merge two disparate goals.
> ...and totally separate the two systems. Won't cost you much <Unless you have to build a second room for the second system, then it will cost a lot! I would love to have the audio system in a separate room, but it is just not going to happen, at least not in our current home. I wonder if this is fergy's situation. I imagine this is the limitation for a lot of people.
I am sure there are those who will say if it is important enough, room will be made. Easier said than done. Sometimes, all you can do is combine the music and HT systems and hope that you can optimize the one that is most important.

Sorry to seem so blase about spending tons of money -- I didn't mean to come across that way. I had gathered from Fergy's post that it wouldn't be *too* much cash out for him to split the systems.For me it would involve buying a real (audio) CDP, HT speakers for the front and your basic 5-channel amp. Nothing I'm able to do in the next year but certainly not out of the question for the next three (maybe).
It would solve a *lot* of problems for me, though...

I totally understand what you are saying, that separate HT and 2-channel systems works best. I could afford to separate our systems for not much cost, but my limitation is I don't have the separate rooms. Maybe the next house... :)
