I want to set up a HT below for av and 2 channel. Will it be upgrade than my current set up? I am using accuphase E-460 and av bypass to Pioneer LX-82 now. Speaker is B&W 804D
AV Pre - amp: Onkyo 5509
2 channel pre -amp: Mcintosh C50
Multi channel power amp: Mcintosh MC207
Since Accuphase do not have 7 channel power amp, just want to match the front channel with the other channels for home threater. However, I use multi channel power amp to replace int amp for music will cause bad sound or not?
You may buy a 5 channel power amp for your HT, your E460 acts as the power amp for your 2 front channels, then you don't have to change your 2 channel set up because of setting up an AV system! And you don't need to worry using AV power amp to degrade 2 channel quality!
