Always keep it separate...two different animals. You are compromising two channel by combining out of convenience. Great sound is not always convenient or easy, but worth the effort. Don’t ask what I think about adding a sub to a two channel set up....🙄 it’s "2" channel, not "2.1"...buy speakers that do bass...you do not need to get all the way down to 20 hz to be satisfied..at minimum 35 to 40 hz will be fine.
Combining home theater with two channel
I have a 7 channel home theater system. In my system, I have Marantz 7706pre amp, Emotiva XPA-Differential 3 channel(450 wpc) driving my golden ear R1s and center channel, XPA-4 (275 wpc) driving surround speakers. When I switch to 2 channel to play music, I’m just not impressed with the emotiva.
My dealer suggested that I add an integrated amp to the system to play music. The krell K-300i. I just have a hard time understanding how can a 150 wpc amp pack more of a punch than a 450watt amp.
