[quote=Ribbles]I’m beginning to lean the same way. For my garage man cave, I have an 8 watt tube amp w/upgraded tubes hooked up to two Klipsch RP series floor standers and a powered 10″ (I refuse to call it a sub). For music it is sublime, works well for movies, too. I think adding more channels would ruin it.
It’s a bit jury rigged:
TV > optical to RCA converter > switch box > amp < switch box < bluetooth receiver < Spotify[/quote]
You shouldn't have to think about if for long. Very little music is recorded (or at least produced) in more than 2 channels. It can't get any better than stereo (plus bass). Adding channels can't help, other than add more distortion.
