Hmmmm, is that dedicated line and its receptacle rated for 30A? If not, it looks like you have a code violation and potential hazard. Just an FYI.

Why buy concert tickets, when I can have Sarah McLachlan in my A/V Room singing "Wintersong" 6ft in front of me.
Close your eyes and the speakers disappear!

How are you liking the MBL’s? You’ve had them for awhile. Just curious. They’re one of my ‘next step’ speaker choices.

Love the MBL 101E's!
Only thing they lacked was thunderous bottom end of my past Evolution Acoustics MM3 speakers.
So adding the (2) REL212SE subs filled that void nicely, and they integrate superbly!
Thanks...
