I need help setting up a duel receiver system.

I have a Marantz sr6009 and an Integra dtr 30.4 and I want to run two pairs of speakers in sync: B&W CDM-7s and B&W 804 Nautilus series. I’m having trouble finding out how to do this as one stereo system (both receivers running a pair simultaneously). And it would also be helpful if there is a solution that doesn’t require a preamp just because I don’t own a current one and If it does I would also like to know if an old onkyo preamp would suffice. Appreciate the help!

Depends on the source components. If analog, you can run the Integra’s Zone 2 output to an input on the Marantz. For digital sources, same thing only use the Integra main HDMI output to an HDMI input on the Marantz.

I guess the most important question is: - WHY! On the face of it this sounds like a ghastly insane set up.

I want to Bi-amp both pairs and I can’t do that with one receiver, but yes it sounded really good the way I had it before thanks for the compliment!

That won't work, as the HDMI out to screen is not a repeater output for HDCP codes. The DVD input is a repeater input and will only accept a repeater source.

All this effort to passively bi-amp with avrs? I wouldn't bother. Let alone running two stereo pairs simultaneously....

So I

I’m not getting sound out of one of the pairs so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
I told you. The problem is that the HDMI out is an end output. The input is a repeater output. So that DVD input can NOT receive from a screen out. If it could that would blow the whole DRM concept of the HDCP codes.

It is NOT possible to do what you want because of DRM.

Ok didn’t know it wasn’t possible, thanks for the advice anyways.

If your source component uses analog connections, you could use the analog Zone 2 outputs. There'd be no issues with that.

I tried that and I do get a signal it’s just extremely weak.
