Hey All,

RAAL Tower owner going from stereo setup to home entertainment system. Mistakes already?

Current stereo setup:
RAAL Towers
Rotel RCD-1070 cd player
Audioengine D2 pc/preamp link
Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp
Sunfire Load Invariant 300 wpc amp

Going to 3.1 system:
LG 65” UHD OLED tv (fantastic picture, bad sound)
RAAL Towers
Horizon center (ordered, on way soon)
Denon AVR-X3400H AV receiver
Oppo UDP-203 to be ordered (unless swing for bigger brother)
Velodyne Minivee 10 sub

So, the question is, should I have stayed with discrete power rather than a receiver? Can/should I hook up both systems and use my current system for stereo only, and the receiver for TV?

Please comment on any aspect of my setup. I have two Velodyne subs because my last pair of speakers were Dahlquist 10’s, an old speaker with little bass (very nice in the 1970’s!). They could be upgraded.

Could also add Sierra 2’s for 5.1, though I’m not sure how much more I should spend for something I use so little. That may change with good sound though.

Anyway, your thoughts are appreciated. Will post again in the near future with room setup stuff.

Thank you! randy
