System Overview
although i have always been a 2 channel guy, having a system that split duties between HT and 2 channel was becoming (i have to admit) a major PITA. a thread in a home theater forum lent me some insight. the poster said he used to have 5 class A tube amps for HT/2 ch, 2 channel preamp with HT surround, external crossovers, the whole shebang. and he dumped it all. he bet me i could just use my denon AVR set for 2 channel direct sound and i would not be able to tell the difference in a blind comparison. and he was right. so i also dumped my system, simplified, and have not looked back since.
