In Reply to: Re: Suggestions on Grafting HT to Two Channel system posted by DA on July 31, 2001 at 09:42:55:
...do you mean actually having two seperate sets of speakers in the front, one for HT and one for Stereo or are you advocating changing the cables between two seperate amps to keep HT and stereo sererate?Another option might be to consider a six channel preamp such as the R.E. Designs SCPA-1 and allowing high end multi channel SACD. Too bad the SCD-555ES doe not have a video out put or it might be perfect.

I suggested to have 2 completely separate sets for 2-ch and HT. It’s a matter of personal taste, but I value quality of 2-ch music reproduction more than one of HT. Thus I feel that it’s better to have 'State of the art' Stereo and 'Good' HT setup than ‘Very Good’ combined system. Do you really need 802 bi-amped by Dreadnaughts for your movies? And for 2-ch. It’s not the best amp to choose. I think it will be compromise in 2-ch. Reproduction and overkill in HT
The other point is that if you try to combine systems including your current preamp it will be too complicated and difficult to manage and setup. So basically you have 3 choices
1.Find preamp-processor that would work as a preamp instead of your SF
2.Change your preamp to one that have “video” input or ability set a zero gain for one of the inputs
3.Keep 2 system completely separate. I mean speakers, cables e.t.c. I did just that in my system, but again I really feel that I’m satisfied with much more simplier HT than you are planning to build.

DA
