I take it that you are going to move your system to the downstairs room and not getting a different system, am I correct on this? It seems then you simply use the analog outputs of the BDP and cable box into the AVR. I would set your system as it is, experiment with speaker placement in the new room prior to making other changes. I have found that 2-channel system can work great for video while providing the best return on investment for music enjoyment. Having a dedicated room to work with is a plus. Keep us informed as to your approach.
How Do I set up a 2 Way system, for Movies/Music
Hi all, Well since I got my PSB imagine speakers, we have only been watching movies upstairs in 2 way mode. The room is open to the kitchen, and dinning, so side and rear surrounds were not possible anyway. (Wife's Standards)
So we are going to build a Theater downstairs, were the full surround experience can be had.
I have a Cambridge Audio 640R, but with only using 2 channels. It seems I don't need anything that big, or I could probably get something more musical for 2 Channel only, But then how do I include my Blu-Ray and cable box?
I am drawing a blank here on how to do this. I have been doing 5.1 and 7.1 systems for so long, I don't know how to set up a small system without the large receiver.
I should add, I do use a VMPS sub, that I power with a Rotel Amp.
