I have mine in a 2.1 system with a 7500 amp outputting to Magnepan 1.6 QRs and an Aperion S12 sub. The technics turntable feeds through the phono input on the 990. The system sounds great as is, but will eventually be melded with my southern system in a dedicated HT/music room in the basement of my NC home. I will likely feed the 990 a digital signal from the Onkyo 886 to allow output to the Maggies when I want only music from a digital source. The Onkyo is a much more flexible piece of gear when it comes to video inputs.
