Advice with my stereo setup

[Helen Barber]

Hi I'm a little bit puzzled on what to do with my setup.

I have a Nad T778 AV receiver

I'm running a 7.1 setup with Tannoy precession 6.4 and matching center as fronts (no need to mention other speakers)

I have just bought some Focal 906 speakers with the idea of using them in a stereo only listening room.

I would like to use the T778 to run the Focal 906's.

Unfortunately Zone 1 & 2 don't allow use of blueos which I would need as I like to stream via Tidal.

I also own a Emotiva XPA Gen3 with 3x power lanes. I have been using this to power my 3 fronts, but if I'm totally honest I'm not hearing any difference, which tells me the T778 is powering them adequately.

Should I buy a stereo Amplifier without power and just use the EmotivaXPA to power the 906's

Or is there some way I can link my 906's with my T778 to save money etc.

I'm only still considering the T778 as I've read it's fantastic with two channel stereo and I wouldn't want to spend anymore than £800 on another amp if needed, which I feel with that budget the T778 could be the best route.

Thanks for any help
