I have a NAD T752 with DSP/pre-amping for 7.1 channels but

with only 5 discrete amps. My initial idea was to have my old,

trusted NAD stereo amp revamped and hooked up to obtain full 7.1

to me that, maybe, I could just find a couple of quality powered

speakers and use for back surround directly.


Any thoughts/experiences?
