I currently own a pair of Genelec 8341 with a 7360A Subwoofer running GLM. Source is a Matrix Element X2 using ROON.
As I will be moving to a new house, I have the opportunity to have a dedicated room. I love 2 channels (or 2.1) and listen to mostly classical music. But at the same time, I love watching a movie and sound is always important. Plan is to use a UST Laser TV projector with one of those motorized roll up screens.
What I hope to seek advice for is whether I should continue to build on top of Genelec or separate the HT and Music systems.
One of the systems I am thinking of is:
- Get another 8341 for Center Channel
- I want my surrounds to be in wall and in ceilings (passive)
So I will need to get an AVR and connect the surrounds to the AVR speaker outputs. But the LCR, I will get the signal from the AVR Pre Out.
Will that work? How can I connect such that I can continue to use my Matrix as my music source (bypassing the AVR), but switch to AVR for movies?
Do I still connect the 8341 to the 7360A? Can the Genelec switch between inputs automatically or do I have to do it via GLM?
Alternatively, I will just go get all passive in-wall for HT and then the Genelec 8341 for music.
Sorry lots of questions but clearly quite lost! Any advice will be appreciated.
