I have three MXR20s, one each for L/C/R. I use the VXR20 for the Alidas. As I mentioned in my link, which 2CH sources such as my Vivaldi stack, Naim CD555 or Linn LP12se - I connect directly to the KXR20 and only the L/R amps and speakers are active. For all video sources, the RS20i sends a passthrough signal to the KXR and seperate center/surround/sub signals to the other amps/subs. Not quite as nice/simple as a dedicated 2CH system but gets lots of use by me for music and family/friends for movies
for a couple years I also had ARC Ref 250 amps for L/R - and would swap speaker cable and input cable to them for 2channel and than back to MXR for HT. with the "20" upgrade, I actually started enjoying the MXRs over the 250s but its a personal preference thing. I got rid of the 250s but still use a Ref40/Ref150 with Duette2s in my cabin.
