Guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi fellow audio enthusiasts. My stereo consists of a 2-channel setup: new Kora Equinoxe tube preamp mated with Dynaco ST-70 vintage tube amp, driving vintage large AR-8 speakers. What I am wondering is this: could I hook up a second pair of speakers for a pseudo- rear channel? I have 4, 8, 16 ohm outputs on the ST70, and two pairs of nice vintage speakers that match in looks. Oh, and a wife that complains that "surround sound" is SOOOO awesome. Is this a possibility? And how would I do it? Thanks for any advice! --Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nigel Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi;What you suggest will not be satisfactory.Three ways you can go: (1) get a surround sound pre-amp (or cheaper a surround sound receiver with pre-outs for all channels), and another Dynaco amp(or two more)(2) get a surround sound receiver with pre-out (such as an Onkyo TX-DS676), and add a switch box at the input to your Dynaco to select between the receiver and your present pre-amp. Drive the main speakers with your Dyanco, and add in the surrounds driven by the receiver.(3) retire your current pre-amp and amp, and go with a surround sound receiver.We have an Onkyo TX-DS787 receiver based home theatre system, with AR Hi-Res speakers, and I have a pair of classic AR9 for audio only. The home theatre system will be offered with the house when we move, the AR9 will not be.Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
