Your 2ch stereo can co-exist with HT. I have an Onkyo 787 recv which is used for HT and Anthem Int-2 (a hybrid with tubed input and SS power amp) for my stereo. I have connected the preout (L&R) from my Onkyo to the Amp-in of my Anthem using the Surround Sound Processor bypass loop. The output from my CAL Sigma D/A is connected to one of the regular inputs of the Anthem.
This way the family can enjoy HT and I can enjoy good 2-ch music. You can get the best of both. I am sure there might be many more configuration which you can try. In short dont get rid of your 2 ch. No matter which A/V reciver you get, you cannot compare the sound and musicality of a dedicated 2-ch system especially a tubed based system.
