How to use 2 channel setup with 5.1 setup


Currently have following 2 channel equipment
Gallo 3.1 (pair)
Musical Fidelity A5 player
Muscial Fidelity A5 amp
Belkin Pure/AV conditioner

Moving system from larger to smaller room (10 x 18). Would like guidance on creating a 5.1 system using the Gallo's as the front pair, and running them for both 2-channel and 5.1 without having to switch wiring. Ready to purchase 5.1 equipment. AM considering a pre/pro. Budget $3,000 or less. Thank your for any assiatance.

Does the MF amp have a HT bypass function? That would make it simple.

Kal
Add a decent AVR (I reccomend the Onkyo AVR 905, used), a center channel speaker and surround speakers (preferabaly matching) and you are off to a great start. Your MF A5 has a HT bypass, so you're good to go.
PS-
Use the pre outs for the front 2 channels, with the MF A5 providing the amplification.
