Expanding 2 channel set-up to 3.1

Posted by: Stubby on 20 September 2008

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice. I am generally happy with my set-up for CD playback, albeit I am considering auditioning speakers and a new power amp Winker My question is this.. What additional boxes would I need in order to run the sound from my plasma through my 252 and speakers in potentially a 3.1 configuration (ie no rears)?

The thought crossed my mind as I currently use a 150x which is likely to go if I upgrade my power amp. Perhaps the 150x would still find a place in a 3.1 set up?

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

A surround controller that will allow you to do so. I am not sure if the AV2 is suitable without rears, but it might be possible... centre speaker (ideally to match your main speakers), power-amp (your 150x would do), subwoofer. And run the front two channels through the AV input on your 252, unity gain and all that. Due to gain, level of adjustment available on the controller etc some equipment may be work and some may not, I would definitely enlist the help of a dealer on this one.
