Hmmmm...thought of something else. Are the digital outs still live even when using the analog outs? Reason I ask is that maybe I could power one of the surround sets with a class d amp that has an SPDIF input...just a wild idea. I'm not married to either the 4 channel movie amp nor the stereo amp that runs my surround SP Tech music speakers, and running some portion of that digitally is ok with me, especially the "less important" Alon Centris sides. I mean, I'm well aware of Class D hi-end amplification (my wonderful Spectron monoblocks are class d) but not closed loop (SPDIF input) ones. Thx
