Do you have separate two-channel and home-theater systems?

The times they are a changing, and many audiophiles have added video to their audio system. Others have kept their two-channel systems intact by creating separate home-theater systems. How about you?

Theatre systems need a subwoofer for the dramatic sounds of film. High end music repro needs a system that does not emphasize the base as base but as an integral part of the whole.

My prime spare time activities remain listening to music and reading. However, my new house came pre-wired for surround, so I decided to put in a relatively simple multi-channel home theater system, and I love it, especially for music DVDs. So I am thinking of replacing my 2-channel high-end audio system by a similar quality multi-channel home theater system.

the problem with home theater, in my opinion, is that it is very expensive to match the video quality and dimension to those of the audio. it looks a bit ridiculous when you hear earth-shaking sound from aproaching dinosaur and look at the tiny lizard walking aroun the tv screen

I have a system for every purpose: 2 channel/ dedicated seprates. Theater. computer. bedroom. Far too many I recgonize but what else am I going to do with all that good stuff I have sitting around? The computer system is networked to the theater and the hifi though, prety cool.

My "home theater" system would be more appropriately coined "audio/video", as it's not much more than a multi-channel audio system with a TV. And two channel has been relegated to "bedroom" system status, and does feature a some video capability.

and have recently start listen to vinyl again. I dislike PC's mostly, because of the cost and uncertainty which every owner is threaten afterwards. This is only caused by the fast and uncontrolled change in technologies. The same will happen to audio, if they will go on like they do now. Sad but unavoidable.
