HT Direct W/ integrated amp

[MillerLiteScott]

How does this feature work?

I have the issue of using the same speakers for HT and 2 channel. I currently have to switch my interconnects which is a PITA. If I got a dedicated 2 channel integrated or amp I would still have to switch speaker cabling. I have thought about getting a pair of bookshelves to mount above my 2 channel speakers and have 2 entirely independent systems but I still will need a better 2 channel amp.

I am all ears.

I think I have figured this out. Thanks

Just to clarify, do you want to use the same amp & speakers or do you not? If you do want to use the same amp\speakers, have you thought of just getting another Pre with HT bypass?

No I want to get a better amp or integrated amp for 2 channel but would rather use the same speakers for 2 channel and HT without having to switch IC's or speaker wire.

I think Anthem offers a Tubed Pre with the HT by-pass option...I'm thinking of combining our 2-channel rig with our HT utilizing our 2.3TL's as mains.

Curious as to what you come up with,pretty sure I'm going in the same direction.
