I need some help with setting up 5.1 hth.

Here is a configuration of it.

Adcom gfa II amp (mono mode) for rc.
Nad 2200 amp (mono mode) for lc.
Adcom gfa II preamp.
Denon 3808ci receiver for c & r chanels.

Speakers are Klipsch RF-83 ht system.
Sony blueray player.

How do I connect all these?. I have all types
of cables available for connection.

Thanks in advance.

Nice starter kit, my first sugestion is to hire an installer you have some expesive equipment there. I don't think you can use the pre-amp and the receiver in the same set up. For home theater use the Denon is right choice for two chanel play back the Adcom is the choice. The amps can be used in either case. I'm not sure about using different amps for front L & R. Using RCA jacks you would connect the amps to the corrosponding peaker jacks out jacks on the PRE-OUT connection on the Denon. The speakers are hen connected to the amps. Here is a link to the denon manual.

Figuring this one out makes my head hurt to think about it, starting with using two different monoblocks for the main speakers. And that's just for starters......

Start by picking up 2 more amps to match your other amps...or at least one that matches either. You'll want the amps to match up front.

Thanks to those whose reponsed.

Yes. I'm going to get more amps to
match the other amp. Then I want to
use the amp as mono for rf & lf chanels.

Do I need the pre-amp for the 5.1 ht
configuration and how to hook it up?.
