I am planning to buy Onkyo's Tx-NR 5008. While going through the instruction manual, I came across the Speakers A and Speakers B configuration (pg 13) where A is for home theatre setup (7.2/5.2) and B is for audio only setup (2.0/2.1). It ' seems' that the front L/R for these A and B configuration are different -- ie 2 front pairs one each for A and B.
This sounds confusing. In my scenario, I want to invest in 2 high quality speakers (front L/R) which I want to use for audio-only listening (2.0) as well as for use with 5.1 setup.
Is this possible? Has anyone tried it? Since A and B are selectable from the onkyo's menu, to which one do I attach these speakers? (I do not want to manually unplug/replug the speaker terminals on the back of onkyo every time I want to switch my listening). BTW, does this demarcation of A and B to have different front speakers make much sense (unless someone buys THX certified fronts especially for movies)?
If someone can clarify, that will be of good help.
Cheers,
Ethan
