This is our Great Room 3.1 system.
Marantz 8801 pre/pro, Intel NUC HTPC, a couple of BD players, one region free. Left and right MTM in wall, center three way in wall, sub in wall TL. Power amps two Quad 909s one for the left and right the other for center and sub. 1000 watts all channels driven.
When I say it is our system, my wife calls it her system, and definitely treats it as hers!
Tertiary system in the Family Room 2.2 system.
Marantz 8801 pre/pro, Quad 909 power amp on the main speaker, Quad 405-2 on the subs. Main speakers are three way.
The grandchildren like this system for gaming. I like it the winter and listen to it by the fire quite a bit.
Even our six year old granddaughter makes herself at home with it. She is very courteous and makes sure she leaves it as she found it and always remembers the input I left it on. That is more than you can say for the teenagers!
