In Reply to: Re: HT/2 channel Can they coexist? posted by bstan on January 14, 2001 at 10:00:14:
I'm running the pre-outs from my Yamaha to my Integra Pre-amp into the video inputs. For 2 channel mode I'm running a straight cd-pre-amp to speakers! MUCH better! For H/T I switch my preamp to video and run the volume to 12 O Clock and use the Yamaha as a H/T receiver to drive the center and rears plus sub while my Integra amp does the front 2 speakers. With the help of the inmates here(Thanks) as to how to wire it I have the best of both worlds CONSIDERING my money and room constraints, ie, can't do 2 seperate rooms. You might be surprised at the improvement, I was, is Yamaha that bad for 2 channel?

your already processed HT signal is again being processed by the 2 channel preamps volume control? To me that seems to step on the HT side of things.Few 2 channel preamps really work with Home theater without the 2 channel preamp processing the HT signal. The only one I could come up with was Adcom's GFP-750 which has a TRUE HT processer loop with unity gain. This means the GFP-750 ($1399 yikes)does NOTHING with the HT signal, just passes it thru. Thats the pure way of doing both but it is very expensive. Any other 2 channel preamps work like the GFP-750?
