For what it’s worth, I read each response a couple times over a day or two & compare it to the others. I really do appreciate all the responses. I really do. I usually wait till the next great slows down & thank everyone. I see other people do this all the time. So, pick yourself up by your pamper straps & don’t be so sensitive.

Sorry OP, I disagree, feedback essential so that we know that we aren’t wasting our time trying to help you. You still haven’t answered “does your preamp have a HT pass through?”. In laymans terms for a surround system you’ll need something to split the signal into channels (preamp-processor), provide amplification to each channel, followed by a speaker per channel. A HT (home theatre) pass through on a 2-channel preamp allows use of your 2-channel speakers in your surround setup. If your 2-channel preamp does NOT have a HT bypass feature, I suspect your only option is to directly wire your 2-channel speakers like the rest of the surround speakers from your surround-preamp-processor. |
@kennyc That’s not true. Any unused line-level input on the stereo pre can work very easily — I did it this way for years. |
@soix I'm doing that with the 2 rear channels for my home theatre. I Bluetooth the rear channels to a Denon integrated amp. I know where to set the volume on the Denon. It serves no other purpose other than driving the rear channels, so I just leave it there. The Denon was sitting unused, so I used it. I know Bluetooth isn't ideal, but I bought a good Bluetooth receiver and transmitter with low latency. This worked better than running speaker wires from the front of the room to the back. No place to hide wires. |
