Thank you everyone for your input - much appreciated.
jmcgrogan2. Yes, this the kind of solution I was hoping for. I should have mentioned that I was looking for a 5.1 HT system. I have the other speakers and subs but no other amplifiers. As to whether the JE are used in HT I’m not sure. It might not be suitable but sounds fantastic in 2 channel. If i got a stronger 5.1 receiver/processor capable of driving Avalons in HT mode i would have come up with a way to switch inputs to the speakers. What HT processors with HT pass through do you recommend?
