If there is a Zone B then you can very easily connect stereo speakers to it and switch to this zone for listening to music.
Correction: It is called Speakers A & B in Onkyo. Connect the stereo speakers to Speakers B. |
Hi,
I have an Onkyo TX-SR503 AVR hooked to a 5.1 speaker setup.
The towers that I use are Sonodyne - Sonus 2605 Tower series (130w RMS @ 8 ohms)
I have NOT connected the Stereo speakers through the Zone B as suggested. However don't see any difference in sound output when listening in Stereo mode.
i.e. when playing movies the same speakers function as part of the 5.1 set, and when listening to music the Onkyo AVR switches to Stereo 2.1 mode.
Am I missing out something by not having dedicated speakers in line B for Stereo ?
As far as Sonodyne goes , I have no regrets so far. IMO they are great value for money.
