Creating home theater with 2 channel gear
I have an Adcom 200w 2 channel amp w/ Adcom preamp/tuner. Practically, can I create a surround system using this gear? Or, am I better off getting a good 5 channel receiver (Rotel) and save my heavy duty stuff for music listening only? Cost is indeed a factor.

You could certainly connect a DVD player or cable box to your Adcom and have a "2 channel home theater", but to get surround sound and video switching you'll need to get a HT capable receiver or preamp and amps.
If cost is a factor, you could always start out with a "2 channel home theater" and then add a 5.1 or 7.1 capable receiver for HT down the road. And you can continue to use your existing setup for music. -
Keep your 2 ch gear and by a good AV receiver with main pre-outs and drive your main speakers via your pre/power Adcom. Connect your CD to your preamp, not to the AV receiver. Your AV receiver will just drive the surrounds, centre and sub.Comment

My father was using an Adcom GFA 7000. He wanted to connect a sixth speaker to the 5 channel amp and thought he would try some crafty wiring. He took the speaker cable from the sixth speaker and split it four ways, connecting a pair to both left surround and right surround channels (thinking he would... -
I have a two channel system using an Adcom preamp feeding a Adcom two channel amp. If I were to pickup a super audio capable dvd player could I use just two of the analog outputs for stereo play back? If I remember correctly Super audio outputs through a analog 6 channel out - NOT a digital out....
