Speaker cables for B&W??
I have B&W CDM1NT bookshelf speakers and run them with MIT Shotgun S2s.I think it is a good synergistic pairing. 
From separates to reciever?
Yes.But it coming back full circle.I had a 2-channel system with separate pre and power, even eq, TT, CD and big tower speakers.Family obligations meant less time with the system and my interest waned.Then the family wanted a HT system - so I went... 
Four channel intergrated amp?
I'm guessing that what you need to look for are integrated amps with A/B speaker outputs for two zone listening - then check to see if you can play both 'zones' at the same time.One int amp I can think of right away that has A/B speaker outputs is... 
Jolida JD9 settings for use with a Denon DL-160?
I tried the LO outputs with the gain switches set to minimum or about 35dB - wasn't an issue with my A5 int amp - plenty of power.I also tried changing the capacitance loading to zero and the impedance to 1kOhm.Still too brittle...sssssibilance as... 
seeking Hybrid Integrated Amp recommendations
Several of the Musical Fidelity line of integrated amps have HT "Bypass" - they call it HT Direct.My MF A5 Integrated Amp has an input specifically called "HT Direct". Works great for my combo setup for HT and Music. 
Speakers for Musical Fidelity M3i
I have the MF A5 int amp paired to B&W CDM1NTs.I think the pairing & synergy work very well together.Enjoy 
Musical Fidelity?
I use the MF A5 Int amp in my HT system (Yamaha RX-V1800) and love the HT Direct/Bypass feature - so that I can have a HT/2-channel system in the same room.The A5 is a beast - has gobs of power, but is articulate and neutral sounding.There is a re... 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
Dallyd31 - do you really understand that you can have a single 'setup' that does both HT and 2-channel? This type of configuration does NOT mean having seperate rooms or separate speakers - it means a single 'setup' that does BOTH multi-channel mu... 
Adioquest King Cobra vs MIT mi330
What do YOU think? You have both -so go for a 'deathmatch' shootout! :-)Every system is different -so that special synergistic combo is dependent on the gear you got and the sound YOU like.I went thru alot of interconnects, including MITs and AQ's... 
inserting 2 channel preamp
My first serious HT setup revived my love for good music - which led me down the typical road of AVR first, then AVR with external amplification and some speaker upgrades.Yet, I still felt something was holding back that major step up in sound qua...

Opinions on 4 Integrateds
I would think you would have more flexibility to get where you want to be by staying with separates. Lots of SS or Tube Pres with HT Bypass to choose from. Then, if that change doesn't float your boat, move on to changing the amp.What is it you do... 
Which integrated amp?
There is a MF A5.5 for sale here in the integrated amp section that fits your budget - get that and call it a day - it will match nicely with your B&Ws.(no affiliation to the seller)I use the older A5 with my B&W CDM1NTs - great synergy an... 
Are there really any high end pre/processors at a
Looks like another audiogon 'driveby'.... 
Are there really any high end pre/processors at a
01-08-13: Seditious3Fplanner2000 - Can you please be more specific about how you have your system wired up? Thanks!The links below will show you how I have my Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated amp with HT Bypass wired into a single system for movies ...
