Default everyday signal path: All sources run through Parasound P6 halo preamp followed by a EMOTIVA Basx A-300 to power the speakers.
Speakers are B&W 805.
Headphones are AKG K1000.
Multichoice signal path: All sources run through Parasound P6 halo preamp followed by:
1. EMOTIVA Basx A-300 poweramp - fed by Parasound RCA output
2. FOSI ZA3 class D amp - fed by Parasound XLR output
The XLR output of the Parasound pre is run through an IK audio ARC STUDIO room correction unit (that can be bypassed) and the XLR is then split into 2 signals.
One for the FOSI ZA3 class D amp and one into a patchbay for connecting active speakers if wanted/needed.
The RCA output is run directly to the EMOTIVA Basx A-300 poweramp.
Output from both power amps run through a FOSI LC30 Amp/Speaker switch - result: both power amps can feed both the B&W 805 speakers and the AKG K1000 headphones.
