    6 channel stereo ?

    Answered my own question. Using a 7.1 receiver that also allows a 2nd zone using internal amps. The 2nd zone is always stereo and the primary zone can be configured for no center and can then be run in all channnel stereo.

    6 channel stereo ?

    Kind of an off-beat question not related to HT, but I need a receiver that can power 3 pair of stereo speakers and was hoping that one of the HT receivers had a 6 channel stereo mode that might work. Anybody?

    F.S. B&W 603 s2 3way floor speakers

    They play quite loud and clean, I was driving them with a Yamaha RXV3300 receiver, about 100 watts per ch, but never had to turn up past 1/3 . I also use a subwoofer, so I plugged the cabinet vents on the B&W to make them a sealed box and crossed over at 60hz to the sub. If you listen to a lot...

    Need help with LFE/Bass routing options

    My Hitachi 65" HiDef (just loveit) does allow the option to use it as a center channel speaker fed by the center preout of my receiver, but it did not sound as good as my dedicated center speaker even with the limits of a 5" woofer. I have breifly tried to listen without a dedicated center...

    Need help with LFE/Bass routing options

    Alot of the impact of a movie is from the center channel, and my mains are full range, biamped with dual 10"s , so I wanted to keep the low frequencies from the center channel in the center of the soundstage. I can't really fit a full range center on top of TV, my center is only a 5" woofer so I...

    Onkyo sr700 or Sony DA2ES ?

    Craig, Have you used the adjustable equalizer? On paper it seems very helpfull for adjustments to any loudspeaker or room shortcomings, although I imagine it does not work in the analog pass-thru mode.

    Sony DA2ES or Onkyo SR601 ?

    Sorry, I just read the SR601 manual and see that it has no preouts. Are there other units that would compare against the Sony DA2ES when used as a preamp for the front/center channels?

    Has anyone added a pre-out / main-in loop to a receiver that was not so equipped? I have an Onkyo SR600 and like its' features, but want to add external crossover and amps. I wonder if a good electronics repair shop could do this?

    Looking for Older Dolby receivers with 5.1 inputs

    I read some good reviews about an older Yamaha V2090, and someone had a unit for sale on this site. But it is missing the .1 LFE input from external decoders (it has only 5.0 channel inputs) which seemed really odd. If I ran the .1 LFE output from the DVD player directly to my subwoofer, I...

    Looking for Older Dolby receivers with 5.1 inputs

    I was going to use the receivers front and center amps to power the upper/mid range section of my speakers, and an external amp to power the bass sections. I would not bother to bi-amp the rears.
