Hi, I currently have a 5.1.2 setup with Denon X3700H, Polk ES15s for front L&R, ES30 for center, E10s for rear L&R, OWM3s for L&R heights and a HTS 12 sub.
Now, I want a dedicated 2-channel stereo for music streaming in a separate room using a pair of Pradigm Monitor SE 8000F floor-standing speakers.
1. Can I use Zone 2 on X3700H to run the above stereo setup without an Amplifier? Does Zone 2 have any limitations on the output per channel or speaker size/sensitivity, etc. to be able to drive these big speakers?
2. With HEOS will I be able to simultaneously play the same music on the new 2-channel stereo and the front 2 channels of the 5.1.2 setup? Also, will I be able to play from 2 different sources on the new stereo and the 5.1.2 setup simultaneously (Eg.: Watching a movie on 5.1.2 & at the same time streaming from Spotify on the stereo)?
3. And if the above 2 things are only possible with an amplifier, I would like to know if it has to be only a Denon/Marantz (cuz I'm kind of interested in Audiolabs 9000a instead).
I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks.
