Friends,
As shared in the earlier forums I have the following setup: -
Pioneer BDP 180
Dali zensor 5 (front)
Dali zensor 1 (Surround)
Samsung UHD 55 Inches
Denon X2200 - AVR
Room size is 12x30
type of music English, Bollywood, retro and ghazals
Source cd/usb/flac/mp3
To have a setup for purely music listening I was thinking to have another set up created with Marantz PM 7005 + Wharfdale 225 BS but due to budget and space issues and recommended by some other members here adding PM7005 to my current set up looks to be a good decision. Therefore, though this has been discussed in lot other forums but I am still confused and having a hard time in understanding and I do not want to take a risk of screwing my existing setup, therefore it is my earnest request to the gurus here to take pain for me and help me with a step by step process: -
1. How to connect the DenonX2200 to Marantz PM7005 and via which cable?
2. How the speakers will be connected?
3. How can I enjoy movies with my 5.1 set up when watching movies and enjoy music when listening to music via Marantz?
4. How the Pioneer BDP-180 can be used for Denon for Movies and Marantz for Music? Is it possible to use HDMI cable for Denon and Optical cable for Marantz? Or if there is any other better alternate way? Please recommend?
5. What mode must be selected in Denon while playing music from Marantz?
6. What configuration needs to be made in both the amps that while watching movies via Denon and listening to music via Marantz that there is no performance gap?
7. What mode must be selected in Marantz while playing movies from Denon?
8. Does Marantz PM7005 has Unity Gain feature or HT Bypass ?
9. What must be take care of for Better Performance and Not screwing up the entire setup?
