I use a Logitech remote programmed with activities like "Listen to Vinyl" which turns on only the 2 channel rig, or "Watch a Movie" which turns on everything. I think this is the best way to combine a 2 channel setup with 5.1. The MX 151 is now dated, but does sound terrific for movies and the occasional multichannel SACD.

Ok, that sounds like exactly what I need to do then, including the remote to make it more wife friendly. Now, is the mx151 THAT much better than a mx121 for my simple needs? The price difference is the cost of a single mc501!
