Hi all,

Currently have a Pioneer SC 2024 hooked up to MA BX5 fronts, BX Center and BXFX rears and a BK sub.

Would I be mad to consider changing the AV setup to a SONOS soundbar, sub and Play:1 rears, then get some Cyrus gear hooked up to the BX5's? I'd have to get rid of the other speakers of course.

My mate's just bought some Cyrus kit and I'm incredibly jealous of the quality of the sound!

For what it's worth, I already have a SONOS Connect, 3 Play:1's and a Play:5 in the house. I guess I need to check if my TV will pass through 5.1.

What about using the pre outs of my AV amp into a stereo amp? Am I right in thinking that the sound would bypass the AV amp and go into what I connect it to?

Ah, just thought, I'd still have to have the speakers connected to the AV amp, which wouldn't help.

Cheers Lucid. Hmm, will have to keep an eye on the auctions for a Cyrus 8 or similar stack.

With such a setup, how would volume matching work when using the AV amp watching a film etc?

I already have the Sonos Connect, so that box is checked.
