With the receiver, if it has pre-outs for the main speakers, it's a bit different. You would keep your analog/music sources (CD, LP) connected to your integrated, and connect the video sources (DVD, SAT, VCR) thru the receiver. Run the L/R mains pre-outs from the receiver to an auxiliary input on the Rega. When you calibrate your HT surround levels, mark/memorize the volume setting on the Rega, and always return it to that position when listening/viewing material thru the receiver. You can do the same thing with a surround processor and external amp.
I have a 2 channel set up. What is the best way
I have a REGA Mira 2000 integrated amp and what to get into surround sound. I am running B&W 602 as my main speakers. I have a center channel speaker and surrounds. Could I purchase a A/V received and hook it up with my integrated amp? In other words, would it work if my integrated amp ran the main speakers and a A/V reciever ran the center/surround speakers? I want to leave my main speakers hooked up to my integrated amp. What are some other possibilities?
