Keep them Stereo and HT systems separate. Get the best you can for your budget HT receiver + 5 monitors(or 4 monitors + center channel) + subwoofer. You will pay for an extra pair of monitors, but will save on headache. This way you don’t need to match center channel to thiels, simplify setup, get rid of potential ground loops
Dead advice on high end stereo/HT mix
I own Thiel 3.6s, Krell KSA200s and want to blend in a cheaper 5 channels system. Here are my questions..
1. What center channel speaker(less then $350) would best blend with the Thiels? Clearly Thiels are too expensive.
2. I'd like to get a Sony TA-E9000ES and a 3 channel or 5 channel amp plus two rear speakers all for less then $3K...what? The Sony would be hooked up/through my Sonic Frontiers Line 3 for the fronts. I'm not dead set on the Sony but it has gotten good reviews.
