Maybe a stupid question ...

[ProgKing]

I have hooked up this system and it works fine: Onkyo EQ-140 equalizer. Onkyo -301 preamp. Onkyo M-5000 amp, and they are going through Klipsche Reference.

No doubt, the sound is good, but it is only 2 channels. In the past I was at 5.1. I suppose the short answer to the question is that I won't be able to hear my music in surround. Is there a remedy? Can someone recommend a piece of equipment that I could add or would I have to replace a component entirely.

I would really like to hear my music in 5.1. I have other receiver/amps, but this one, right now, really does have a kick, regardless of the lack of surround.

You are right.

How are you enjoying the system after receiving the correct connection instructions?

What other receivers and amps do you have there? The answer to the question is that you will need a 5.1 AVR/AVP+AMPS and speakers to listen to music in surround sound.
