2-Channel to home Theater


I'm currently building a 2-channel system consisting of teh following components:

Sonic Frontiers Line 1 Tube Preamp
Thorens TTA2300 Dual Mono Amp (140 wpc, totally separate power supplies and cords -- very sweet)
Joseph Audio RM25Si Loudspeakers
Camelot Round Table DVD/CD Player
Panasonic CT34wx50 16:9 34" Direct View

If I want to go multi-channel at some later date, what would be the best way to go for electronics? Does anyone have recommendations for a surround processor that would mesh well in this system?

You could get a HT receiver and run it through the tape loop of the preamp. If you have a processor loop on your preamp that would be preferrable. Use the existing system for front L&R speakers. Use the HT reciever to run center and rears.
Bwhite> The Conrad Johnson PFR preamp also has 2 line level outputs. This model was replaced by the 14LS. I have seen several for sale in the last 2 weeks. Usually around $1250, they are rated class A. I have one and am very satisfied with it.
