Some people have mentioned sending the sound separately to a preamp, or integrated amp, and simply connecting all video equipment straight to the tv. My next question would be, how do I send the signal from the tv to the preamp? It looks like my only two options would be RCA or Fiber Optical. Would that degrade the sound compared to using HMDI?
2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions
Currently setting up a 2.2 channel system that I will be using for my home theater (have no plans of adding more speakers). I have a pair of ML ESL9's, a NAD m22 power amp as well as two ML 1100X subs and want to use balance connects for all equipment.
My question is, do I need to buy a Pre/Pro, like the NAD m17 or Anthem AVM60, or is there a scaled down piece of equipment that would work just as well? Most Pre/Pro's have 11 or 13 channels, which is obviously overkill, but I still need something that can support 4k HDMI, has balanced outputs, and would prefer a good room correction software, like Dirac or ARC.
