Other Components

Room is well covered with Acoustic Treatments. All listening is performed in a well acoutically isolated "Listening Chamber" that effectively damps most High and upper mid frequencies. Subs are arranged in "push/push" system, with front pair in a "flanking" ITU formation outside the RM30 Mains firing at the listener, and the rear SUBS are right behind the listening chamber firing away from the listener to the rear.
