do you have a sperate audio and HT system?

Hello all.

I was wondering how many people have two seperate systems...one being set-up for two channel audio listening...and one for HT viewing/listening.

Myself...I neither have the money nor the room for two seperate systems...so I take advantage of what I got. My audio pre-amp has a HT-ByPass switch which I use...this way I can use the HT reciever when watching a movie...and when it's 2 channel time...well...then I hit the by-pass switch and only have my 2 channel components at work. For me this is a solution that seems to work...sure, I know it's a compromise...but one I'm willing to live with.

Do you have seperate systems? or integrated? or...if you have integrated...do you hope to, someday, go with two seperate systems? any other thoughts? comments?

thanks all...take care.....

.....enjoy the music!

I used to have a single integrated system like the one you describe. When my financial circumstances changed for the better, I decided to go in a slightly different direction. I continued to use Krell solid state electronics and Thiel speakers for my HT rig. But I went with Audio Research vacuum tube electronics and Magneplanar speakers for music. They are in separate rooms. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, but I am very happy with both.

Most recently, I added a Pioneer PV 47ai to the HT rig for multichannel SACD/DVD Audio.
