Basic components with my system: Processor, Amp, DVD Player, Power Station, HD Display and HD Cable Box. After almost 20 plus years of upgrades I final reached that listening sweet spot without having to invest 100k. I wanted my system to give me the feeling like I was in the center of the action. That was not an easy task with a 25ft vaulted ceiling. These speakers have a unique configuration. The Front towers have a built in self-powered 1500watt subwoofer, the Center has a 150watt, 10in Sub and the main rear Sub has a 1800watt Sub. I find that with this configuration, I have flexibility. Running a B&K 200x7 Amp and Processor to push these speakers. The Pioneer Elite DVD player handles all formats and puts out great video and sound. The blue background lighting is easy on the eyes and makes viewing a pleasure.
