- Ayre Acoustics MX-R monos

- Krell Theater Amplifier Standard
200 W/channelx5
Four of these(side walls and rear walls) They all tie into the REL Brittania B1s at the rear of the room for 5 channels of full range sound.
- Genesis Technologies 6.1c center channel
Built into a custom, dampened enclosure above the screen. Teathers to the S2/12t sub to make center channel full range. A hold over from prior speaker system, vandy's big center won't fit the enclosure and this works too well to bother with a remodel. The enclosure also tilts the baffle down toward seats.
Wide bandwidth, tonally balanced, and great imagers. Dark? NOT in my system anyway.
- Genesis Technologies S2/12t
Teathers to Genesis center channel to make center channel full range. The sub is in a custom triangular-shaped enclosure occupying the center two sections of cabinet. (Double walled MDF with sand fill in void spaces).
A pair of these in the back of the room connect with surrounds making all channels full range. No LFE used.
10 meter pair from preamp to monos
balanced and single ended on audio side
4 foot double bi-wired pair from MX-Rs to 5As.
25 feet to center channel
To surrounds
