I own a processor and 3 amps 1 for L R fronts,1 for center, and 1 for rears;or you could buy a 3 channel job,depending on how much sound;how much money to spend. Processors have rca-outs that go into the amps.They have the binding posts,unless you have a reciever that is-an all in one box.
2-channel to 5-channel
I presently own a 2-channel set up and would like to incorporate 3 more channels into my sytem. I presently have a pre amp that has a processor switch that allows me to incorporate but I'm not sure how this works. At first I thought that I could buy a dolby digital surround processor hook it up through my surround loop but where would I hook up the rest of my speakers meaning the center and surrounds? My pre amp doesn't have the additional speaker posts for a home theater hook up. I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my questions. I just want to know how this process works and if it's better to just purchase the Vantas unit that incorporates into 2-channel systems?
