If I'm correct,isn't Prologic an early surround format? Are you saying that it also performs well in a stereo mode? If so,how do you configure the speakers.The thing that might interest me is the ability to place a sub-woofer outside for those "Special Occasions"?
I just want to be clear that I am not at all interested in surround for this setup.

Orion shows it as 1996 $2000 list. I suspect that $1450 might have been street price.As Hepcat says, there is no problem using this as just a stereo amp. You just need to select stereo mode.
You can use it with a subwoofer connected to the stereo speaker cables just like any other stereo amp.
It also has the additional option of using RCA outs crossed over at 200Hz. Mono for a single sub or stereo for a matched pair of subs.

On these units,can I power 2 "sets" of speakers simultaneously,say one inside set and one outside set? Can I switch between multiple sets?
The switching on the A2070 is not set up with this in mind.It would be possible to use the stereo pre-outs, and split them to connect back to the A2070 main speaker amps and out to an external amp. You might also be able to connect both sets of speakers in parallel depending upon their impedance In either case, you would not however have independent volume control.
Prologic was the second step after plain Dolby surround. Prologic added the center front speaker etc. Later steps were Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, etc.It's easy to go to stereo in any of these HT receivers. On the 2070 just select stereo with the mode button. On others, just go into the menu.
Do you have any research tips on getting info on the Denon,Yamaha (and others?) pro logic product lines of about 10 years ago? I'll research the units,just need to figure out what was the TOTL model#s of the era. Any other makers of high-end units of the time?
