Same experience here.
It can be done in a very effective way.

I combined separate dedicated 2 channel and 5.1 HT systems and the combo is better than either of the individual parts.

A couple of thoughts:
An HT needs big subs that go deep and loud. A 2 ch system, not so much. So be mindful of how you integrate your subs into both.

An HT implies a screen, and that comes with some acoustics challenges. Getting the front speakers physically out into the room and away from the screen really helps. Some people use tab-tensioned drop down screens with acoustic materials behind them to optimize the situation. I have also seen screen covers made of acoustic materials.

Getting the gear out of the front of the room is really important. It reduces annoying distractions from lights and displays.

Good luck!
Tom

GHW,

It sounds like you are planning a pretty sophisticated system. When you eventually move your 2 channel system to your dedicated room, will your multichannel playback system go there as well?

Whatever you decide, you should utilize a S.W. It'll help smooth out the nasty room acoustic problems you will encounter. Get a copy of Dr. Floyd Toole's book on reproduction. It's very informative.

An addendum to GHW and my other audio Colleagues;
I apologize for my the tone of my previous posts. I meant no affront who think differently than I do. I am a numbers guy and am driven by objective data. I recognize
that many are subjective in their analysis. If I offended any of you I didn't mean too.

But my thinking still stands regarding accurate reproduction of any signal source.

Also a general query, What kind of music are you drawn to? I think it makes a difference. Me? I'm a classically trained musician, performer (low brass) , and avid concert goer. Row 10 center please.
