In Reply to: to 5.1 cheaply or costlier... posted by audiot on February 23, 2004 at 12:45:57:
I would come out of the tube pre-amp to the pre-pro. I do this because I still play a lot of vinyl and my pre-pro does not have a phono input (and even if it did it proabably wouldn't be as good as the one in my pre-amp). You have the keep the pre-amp volume at a constant and use the pre-pro volume to raise/lower the 5.1 channels.
This constant should be set at the same level as the DVD, broadcast, cable , tuner, etc. so that when you switch you won't damage anything (including your hearing).BUT. IMHO all five speakers have to be identical (or similarly voiced from the same manufacturer) or you will be constantly distracted by discontinuities in the channels, causing interuption of the "suspension of disbelief" so important in watching films.
Follow Ups:
Still thinking this thru, thanx for the patience...I would really like to try and use my 2 channel system for the fronts if I do this. Would it be better to hook up through the tape monitor to combine the preamps, that way I should not have the volume/volume problem.
I posted this before. My current system consist of a H/K AVR 510 receiver with preamp out for all channels. The mains are RCA 100 watt tube amps, the center is a Sherwood S1000II 36 watt tube amp,and the back channel amp is a Stromberg Carlson 14+14 watt.The Speakers are all Cerwin Vega. This system sounds awesome both for music and movies. The audio detail coming off the Sherwood renders voices very crisp and clean and it's more than enough for a regular living.
