In Reply to: RE: So, do I really need an HT receiver? posted by dvb on September 01, 2010 at 17:15:10
If you like the sound you now have and aren't interested in surround sound you don't need one. And if you get good imaging with your current 2-channel rig you don't need a center channel speaker. I used to use surround sound (going back to Dolby surround days before Pro-Logic and Dolbt Digital) and have gone back to simple 2 channel.
HDMI switching can be done through many TVs; I run all my sources except my record player (LD player, streaming BD player, DVD jukebox, cable box, jumpdrive) through the TV and feed my 2 channel hi-fi with the audio out jacks from the TV. The TV is the source switcher.

This is basically what I am doing now.
I'm not really satisfied with the sound, though. I've been spoiled by the George Wright SET Mono Blocks in my dedicated audio system, and the Yamaha amp is sounding pretty sterile.
So, it is a question of probably upgrading the amp - and if so, perhaps just sticking with a 2-channel, as more likely providing better sound for the buck that a HT amp that has a lot of bells and whistles.
However, I can probably find a center channel amp by PSB that will match my PSB Stratus Silvers. A used HT amp might serve for that purpose of trying it out - but ultimately, I'm going to need to find something with decent sound.
