I currently have a modest 5.1 home theater setup. My preference has been to focus more on 2 channel audio. I have a pair of Sonus Faber Toy bookshelfs for my fronts, and I know my Marantz SR4002 receiver isn't doing them justice. I'm leaning towards going with a Peachtree Nova in the long run, but have been itching to get something in the interim. So I just purchased a used Jolida hybrid 1501RC integrated amp. My plan was to sell the Marantz, lose the center/rear speakers, and go 2 channel with my sub. However I'm getting pushback from the family and they want to keep the surround sound. Soooo.... how do I set this up? I have pre-outs on my receiver, but the Jolida doesn't have a home theater bypass mode. I've heard Niles has some intersting switches that may work, but I'm concerned about losing audio quality. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
