Thnx for the help

speakers to a happy system is easy enough. I would however recommend
ditching the mixer and getting a standard home theater processor and
amp or a receiver at least for powering them. That should get you all

the features that you might want in such a system plus excellent
performance.

I've been thinking about it and yes, a mixer would be a somewhat clumsy
solution for multi-channel using that specific setup. However, since
the KRK monitors are active (that is self-powered with included
amplifier) I don't need an amplifier. I guess what it would be needed
is a kind of "passive pre-amp", that is, something that would give me
the switching and routing of sources without the amp circuitry- kind of
well, like a mixer :-).

Does such a thing exist? Is there a recommendation for that?

is enough for your room and you are trying to get better sound
quality, don't confuse quality with quantity. You could get a better
pair of speakers, DVD player and amp and then have better sound for
somewhere around the price of the added channels.

So far I've been using the rig for stereo listening. The only reason I
wanted to expand to multi-channel is to be able to experience the
multi-channel audio on SACDs and DVD-As. More than anything I want it
to audition the 3-track Living Stereo SACDs

Thnx for the help. Will certainly consider your suggested approach...
