Searched the Forum database for a surround system configuration and decided to start a thread.
I have two Monolith III on a Luxman C-03 and M-03 Amp (2x 200 W / 8 ohms) intended as front, two Scripts as rear and a Cinema as center.
How do I create a surround system?
A Behringer 2496 Ultra Drive (actually, two would be required) and the DBX equivalent have been suggested elsewhere. Can an off-the-shelf surround receiver (like a Harman Kardon AVR 256 at 110W per two channels driven) be used to drive the rear Scripts and the Cinema center?
And how do I hook up the analogue signal audio in such an AVR 256 to feed the front Monoliths via the Luxman C-03 / M-03? The HK manual states that the Tape OUT (needed to feed the pre-amp and amp Luxman C-03/M-03) will only output analogue signals when an analogue source is connected (rules out any HDMI, like a DVD connection).
The Behringer manual states their digital signal inputs to be in S/PDIF or AES/EBU format - how does that relate to HDMI and how can this be realized with what cabling?
Any suggestion different from above would be appreciated!
Thanks.
