hi John,Ive been reading the asylum posts for over 5 years.
so Ive read a lot of posts.
I thought people would think I was crazy,because my 5.1 is hooked up different.I looked at your link,& mine is hooked up kinda like yours,but in smaller room.
the crazy part is I have 17 speakers in one room.I need to buy I more center channel.10 are floor speakers.with 2 subs.Most was used from ebay.I installed the 5.1 about A week ago.I had all the extra speakers & amp for years.I had the 7.1 with pre outs to kyocera amps to feed the extra speakers.
I wanted to a/b the 5.1 &7.1 so I used zone 2 from 7.1 to 5.1 cd input,&5.1 preout to tape input.it works.the 2 kyo amps feed 6 of the speakers,but it dont get turned on much.
I ve been using the new oppo 980 thanks to the asylum.The thing I like the best is I get stereo in the rears with either surround amp.My room is so small that the rears are only 1 foot from my head. theres 2 on each side.2 are rears on 7,1& the other 2 are fronts on the 5.1
the sound is different & better.I have dvd audio universal players for both amps.I have not a/b them.
Follow Ups:
Interesting to read you have dropped on to a similar set up Ben. I first started experimenting with surround from 2CH with a Audio Pulse One years ago with L/R analog out from vinyl. This "progressed" to an Audio Pulse model 2 and then to a Fosgate 2 which was highly praised in TAS.
I stuck with the Fosgate for a long time until dipping my toes into digital. After some relatively crummy digital processors (it was a long learning curve) I "invested" (that term alleviates the conscience better) in a Meridian 861 which had a number of interesting options. But I could not perform the same trick of leaving L/R alone & feeding more back for surround effects with digital without another DAC. This was satisfied with a Benchmark DAC1 which has been extensively modded by Steve Nugent. Along this road vinyl was abandoned much to the chagrin of some inmates here.
But being the obsessive audio/video nut I must confess to, this has since been changed again with the internal DAC of the Esoteric universal player timer controlled by the G-0s Masterclock. This gives rather nice L/R fed direct to amps from the preamp with synthethised surround via the Meridian. This is just about as far as I can go until weakening to blu ray. Groan, that means yet another player in the system!!

Sadly (or is it happily?) an incurable audio-video nutter with an indecent number of toys. Classical music forever!!!!
