As a noob audiophile in the planning stage of a renovation, I am looking for some advice please.
In the bedroom I want to have this setup:
- a TV with LCR or passive soundbar in front + 2 surround rear left / right passive speakers
- connected to an AVR that is located in another room (media rack)
- also in the media rack is a network streamer (like the Wiim Pro Plus)
So, I have these connections:
- a fiber optical HDMI: AVR >> TV (eARC)
- speaker cable: AVR >> LCR speaker or passive soundbar
- speaker cable: AVR >> each surround speaker
- network streamer: Wiim >> AVR
Question:
- How to use the surround speakers as stereo pair when playing music via the network streamer in the bedroom? How to connect the speakers so I can use them in both setups: as a surround channel and as a stereo pair?
- Even more ideally: I can use the surround speakers separately from each other as well, so not as a stereo pair. Use case: I can use the speaker on my side of the bed as an alarm clock with a bit less disturbance for my wife.
Thanks for the tips!
