Nice setup... Were you able to audition the MU2 at Axpona?

I love the room and the system. 16 foot ceilings nice.

I have 611s with B&w 802d3.

I noticed with great interest you use Kaleidescape. I have an interest in better sound quality.  With netflix and all the other streaming sources you no doubt use, how do they compare with Kaleidescape. is Kaleidescape limiting? It's really sad all the streaming that's out there doesn't offer better quality and interested how you deal with these quality limitations amidst all that your system offers to deal with these limitations.

@jmeyers Wow!! I bet that setup sounds more involving than a real movie theater.. That's the best home theater I have every seen..

Thank you both. The three McIntosh MC 611 mono amplifiers drive my L-C-R speakers. Two Krell stereo amps handle my side and rear sets of speaker.  When listening to two-channel, only the L and R amps are on; for multi-channel, all seven speakers are going strong. In addition, the four SVS subwoofers are always on.

Great gear and nice-looking room! Thanks for posting. Big fan of both Mcintosh and Theta.

Wow that's quite a tour de force system and room! Do you use the big Mac amps for HT and the Krell FPB for music?
