My 2.1 system

[generalkorrd]

This is my living room, so I know that my placement/furniture is not exactly the best for maximizing my sound, but I gotta live with the wife too, ya know?
Whole system:

My stack with my newest addition (XPA-2)as of today:

Close up of the speakers:

Unfinished speak to get an idea of the magnitude lol:

Yes, that's a longneck Budlight bottle lol.
Sketchup and driver breakdown of each speaker:

As of today, the XPA-2 is driving the mids/highs @4 ohms/ch(500 w/ch)
Each PM860 is going to be running 1 of the subs(dvc 4ohm) for a total of 600 watts to each sub.

Thats 1.1 kw per side
Yes it sounds completely awesome!

Very impressive build!! You do great work. Nice choice in drivers. Ive always liked Morel's sound. Looks like you put a lot of thought into your design choice, i bet they sound great!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Few questions,
do you have the left tower sandwiched between the entertainment center & that bookshelf?
Which way are the 15" subs aimed, in or out?
Could you pull them out a bit? May help "unchoke" them...

Ya, the left one is sandwiched between the entertainment center and a computer armoire.

The 15's are firing inwards. I havent tried to switch the towers to have them firing out... yet! It sounds so good as it is already!

I could pull them out some, but then they would start to intrude into the room. They don't really sound masked at all, but to be honest, I havent heard them in an open situation. At 150 lbs a piece, they get a little tough to move around!

I absolutely love that tweeter btw, it is so clean and takes anything I can throw at it. I am playing with the idea of switching out the mid for something nice in a 4-5 cone. No great rush on that tho.

Ditto. I think there is a lot of untapped potential in those beautiful speakers. Its like looking at a pair of lordly lions pacing in a zoo cage!!!!!

No flush mounting the drivers? Me thinks this setup has a world of potential.

how do you like the xpa2? I love mine... Them craftsmens look like they are in great shape, most of the ones Ive seen have taken a beating, but still sound great..

Nice setup!
I know your new toy is the XPA-2, but it was the Soundcraftsman amps that really caught my eye!
