In my living room I have had two Fives and a Sub for some time. My turntable is plugged into one of the Fives, and everything works perfectly. Last week I bought an Arc. My plan was to use the Arc under the TV, and the two Fives as surround speakers, with the sub still tucked away in the corner - perfect.
Sadly, this appears to not be possible as I had expected, as using a Five for a surround speaker turns off Line-In, which means I can no longer play records. As a result, I now have two setups in one room - one that I had before, and a separate setup for the Arc with no sub and no surround speakers.
Have I reached the edge of what I can do? Does buying an amp fix this problem? (that seems mad). Is there any way to get all of my speakers to play nicely but still be able to play records?
I would be extremely grateful for any coaching or ideas. Thanks.
