Current System: Onkyo TX-NR3008, Pioneer BDP-S370 blue-ray, B&W 684 speaker package, 684 fronts, 685 rears, centre and 610 sub. I would like to enhance my stereo capabilities. Thinking of buying the Marantz CD5004 and a pro-ject or Rega turn table. Now: should I consider getting a stereo pre-amp and utilise the power through the Onkyo, or should I rather separate the stereo system from the home cinema completely, i.e seperate amp and speakers? If so, how?

Hi Ronald,

Re: Home Cinema vs/and Stereo

Just to throw a bit of a curved ball at this, Meridian = best of both worlds. If you don't mind second hand, there are some bargains to be had.

It was a dilemma (minus the turntable) for me also which was instantly solved by going in that direction.
