Hey all, I'm moving to a new house very soon and although overall it's much bigger than the current house I wil likely have less room for gear. This is mainly due to accomodating kids in their own rooms rather than sharing, etc etc.
So, my feeling is I should look into amalgamating my 2 channel hifi gear and my 5.1 HT gear into one system and I would really like to hear from anyone who has done this and is happy with the results. I don't have stellar gear from either HT or hifi so I'm guessing I shouldn't see a huge amount of difference really.
My HT is a 5.1 system with an Onkyo TX-SR505e picking up the amplification and decoding duties. The speakers are Mordaunt Short centre and rears with Paradigm Monitor 5's (floorstanding) up front. I also run a smallish MS sub. I have an Apple TV 3 (for now) for streaming movies etc via PC Plex Server / PlexConnect and a Sky digibox.
My hifi is built around a Yamaha R-S700 receiver with Technics SL-Q3 TT, Yammy and Aiwa tape decks, Arcam Alpha 5 CDP and an Apple Airport for streaming. Speakers are JVC SK1000ii.
I guess really this could all be easily accomplished by just adding all the hifi gear into the Onkyo and then see how it sounds. I'm pretty sure the Onkyo has a phono input too for the TT - not sure about line in for tape but I reckon it will have at least one.
All thoughts and comments gratefully received, thanks in advance
