You’ve gotten all the advice there is so far. I will add mine. You have a highly evolved stereo. To add video to your room, make sure you don’t upset the acoustics you are currently enjoying. MC is spot on in his observations. No Center speaker will blend nor is one needed. Add the Swarm. Get a 7.2 channel AV receiver for HDMI switching and to generate rear output channels, and get a pair of wide dispersion speakers for the surround channels. Ohm Acoustics might be ideal. Rig your own HT Bypass by finding the unity gain position on your SP6. Relax and enjoy the best of both. Run your sub array off your stereo preamp, and set the receiver mains to large with + LFE.
Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System
I have a two channel system that I am very happy with located in a dedicated listening room. I am considering how to add home theater without giving up the two channel sound that I enjoy. My main speakers are Avantgarde UNO’s (horn speakers - 18 ohm, 108 db sensitivity). Avantgarde does not make a center channel speaker. I assume that I will have a problem matching any box speaker center channel speaker with the Avantgarde - my worry is incoherent sound. Is this something I should worry about? Are there center channel speakers that might be a good match (I have been unable to find any obvious candidates ohm/sensitivity match)? Is it likely that I will need to find a new set of front speakers from the same brand as the center speaker?
The rest of my setup: Pass Labs XA 60.8, Audio Research Ref 6 preamp, SME 20/2 turntable, Lumin x1 streamer, Ayon CD player, REL 812/S subs (2)
