Hi Folks,



I am looking to put together a new home system powered by Odyssey Audio components. The system will be used approximately 80% for music and 20% for home theatre applications (movies, HDTV, PS3). As such I want to configure the system to utilize the HT Bypass functionality so that 2-channel source components are not coming through the AV pre/pro. I would appreciate your review of the components listed and what I envision as the correct configuration to achieve this.



Components

Odyssey Stratos HT-3 Extreme Amplifier

Odyssey Khartago 2-Channel Amplifier

Odyssey Candela Preamp w/ HT Bypass Line

AV Pre/Pro (TBD - considering Outlaw Audio 975, Marantz 7005, Marantz 8003, or Integra 80.3 but would welcome any other suggestions)

Odyssey Lorelei Front Speakers

Odyssey Centre Channel

B&W In-Ceiling Rears

Audiolab 8200CD

Music Hall MMF2.2 Turntable

Phono Preamp (TBD)

Reel to Reel (TBD)

Sonos ZP90 Digital Music Streamer

Oppo BDP-103 DVD Player

Shaw Cable Box/PVR

Sony PS3

Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR6 TV



Configuration

1. Odyssey Lorelei Front Speakers and Odyssey Centre Channel to Odyssey Stratos HT-3 Extreme

2. B&W In-Ceiling Speakers to Odyssey Khartago

3. Odyssey Candela L/R Out to Odyssey Stratos HT-3 Extreme (L/R)

4. AV Pre/Pro Front L/R Out to Odyssey Candela HT Bypass L/R

5. AV Pre/Pro Rear L/R Out to Odyssey Khartago

6. AV Pre/Pro Centre Out to Odyssey Stratos HT-3 Extreme (Centre)

7. Phono Preamp to Odyssey Candela

8. Music Hall MMF 2.2 to Phono Preamp

9. Reel to Reel to Odyssey Candela

10. Audiolab 8200CD to Odyssey Candela

11. Sonos ZP90 to Audiolab 8200CD via coax or optical

12. Oppo BDP-103 to AV Pre/Pro

13. Shaw Cable Box/PVR to AV Pre/Pro

14. Sony PS3 to AV Pre/Pro

15. Sony Bravia TV to AV Pre/Pro (HDMI Out)



Whew! I hope that I've got the configuration right. Let me know what you think.



Thanks!
