My Dad is looking to get his vinyl hifi up and runing again. It's been a while and in the meantime he has built up a tidy 5.1 AV system. I can't remember the name of the amp, but it is decent. The speakers are a very nice set of Monitor Audios.
Clearly the turntable can't be fed into the AV amp as it is digital (or can it?).
Even if it can, he would like to get his pre/power amps going.
However, he does only have the one set of floor standers and he doesn't want to utilse the full 5.1 for his hifi.
The only thing I could think of was to utilise the bi wire ports of the speaker. One from the AV amp. One from the Power amp. I presume this is possible and won't cause damage?
He asked me if there is a way from switching from one system to another but I have no idea. I think he may have to change the speaker connections every time as the AV amp is already biwired.
Any advice would be really useful as it's a shame to see such great hifi gathering dust in the attic.
Cheers.
