Detachable surround sound?

Posted by: Henry Cosker on 18 December 2000

Is it possible to attach a surround processor/amp to a Naim active system without compromising the main stereo music system? I am tempted by DVD (telly is between SBL's), but wonder if I can add the other channels only when I need them. As a related issue, can a subwoofer be patched in to an active system just for watching ground-shaking sci-fi DVD's?

SBLs, as rear surround speakers, surely not, must be pretty awesome though...

...the thread entitled "To DVD or not to DVD"

That should give you some ideas.

Hi,

I have just added a Yamaha DSP E800 to my naim passive system (CDi/102/180/Hicap/SBL) and am very impressed with it.

My Linn Kan's need proper positioning to get best rear sound on Sound org wall brackets - I plan to try some bipolar Mission's because the rear's are immediately behind the sofa to see if they create a greater sense of space.

Hope this is helpful,

Jonathan
