I would like to use a different pair of speakers for music aside from another pair of front speakers for movies (5.1). I have the RSX-1055 and it does not have A/B speaker selection option. Is this achievable? Will I have to use the remote option with an external power amp? Suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks

The only problem with using both the built in amp and an outboard amp, is that you cant turn off the built in amp. You can leave the outboard amp off easy enough, but its defeating the built in amp when you are listening to music through the other amp.
You could always use some kind of an A-B switch, but that might not be the best option if you are looking for sonic performance. -
Color me curious...
Why would you want to switch out the (presumably superior) music speakers for movies?
If it's for timbral balance across the front, wouldn't it be easier to just buy a center speaker that matches the better music speakers?.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

Armond, a good pair of speakers will do well in both 2 channel and HT, or are you wanting to add a second system in another room?

i'm running the Atlantic technology 5.1 system and it's great for movies but sucks on music. I suppose I can delete the fronts and replace it with the other pair of speakers I have for 2 channel listening. Thanks for the Marin compliment. I love it here too.Comment

It is nice across the bridge... good to sneak outa the city once in a while to have dinner at the Buckeye Roadhouse... or take a meandering drive to Stinson Beach.
But I digress...
What make-n-model are your music speakers?.

I'm changing out my amp from a 1075 to a 1077 hooked up to a RSP-1069 and am calibrating with a SPL meter. My dumb question is do I go thru the test tones and calibrate once or do I calibrate the system with each different input? Would appreciate your help!! -
