just take your main system and build around it. use tubes for the fronts ,and use an add on integrated to run center channels and rears. most dvd players have two sets of outputs. i have two extra systems run like that. it sounds great. 5 channel tube amp, sign me up. just use your two channel when listening to tunes. you already have the yamaha. dont ruin your audio system by making it video.
tubes or SS?
I'm in the market for a new amp and cd player. 2-channel music is where I have been focusing my research lately, but I don't want to to compromise my HT either. Seperate systems is not an option.
I'm wondering how tube amps (pre or intgrated) work in HT?
I like the tube sound, but wonder if I can get it for music by adding a tube cd player thru a SS amp?
Anyone know how the hybrid amps like the Jolida work in HT?
My speakers are Soliloquy 5.3, with the center and surrounds following soon.
I have a Yamaha RXV-995 receiver (100x5 DD,DTS) right now.
