Probably yes but when you are listening to the Yammy, you don't turn off this to turn on the Nad staff. What I mean is my family and I enjoy both systems without be looking which is playing.

Well that is fine - I don't turn off my receiver when music starts up in the middle of a movie either.

I'm not going to get into what other people should be listening to because it's none of my business - your second system IMO isn't a huge step up over the first one so If the first one was alreayd on I might not be bothered to switch over either - it's been a while but the 602S2 is no slouch and easily hangs in with any Paradigm I've heard - I like the 604S3 over the new studio 100V3. I'm not talking about "like" sounds and even this set-up isn;t really helpful as you have NAD with Paradigm and Yamaha with B&W. The speaker makes the most noticeable change in the system - that however doesn't mean it's the most important change in the system. And some systems are less sensitive to changes in ancillary gear.
