2. Are the triggers setup correctly? Keep in mind, I have a Logitech programable remote that switches to the correct inputs for events.
3. Speaking of programming the remote can the C2700 be controlled by the Logitech?
4. Am I able to still use my subwoofer for 2 channel listening? If so, how? Why do I feel dual subs are in my future?

Any other comments are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Doug, nicely done!

Passthru wiring is correct. 1/8" stereo cable. You'll have to program the C 2700 to use unbalanced input #2 as the passthru input.

Power Triggers to 601's are correct. 1/8" stereo cable.

I have a love-hate relationship with my Logitech. Yes, you can control it - you may have to try several different McIntosh models and manually capture some of the IR codes.

Sub won't work for 2 channel. If the sub has multiple inputs then you could use one of the unused C 2700 outputs to drive it, making sure you turn off that feed when using the preamp in passthru. Or, if your sub has speaker level inputs then you can hook it up (with great care!) to the 601's. You would also end up having to run a separate LFE signal to the sub from the AVR or run the mains as large and run LFE into them.

Depending on the vintage of your HT receiver, you could run the OppO 7.1 channel analog into the HT receiver. For example my McIntosh MX 151 won't decode the latest audio formats, but the OppO will, so I use the 7.1 channel analog connection.
