BENEFITS
1. The receiver:
• Uses a full array of potentiometers – just like ultra-high-end separate components do.
• Has the higher-quality moving-magnet phono cartridge pre-preamp.
• Can safely operate with 4-ohm speakers – a rarity among most other A/V receivers and a situation presented by most speakers.
• Has a Straight Line setting that bypasses the tone and balance controls for maximum fidelity
• Isolated ground for maximum channel integrity
• Illuminated volume control so you can see how loud it will be playing
2. The Speaker Systems:
Well, it's Klipsch. What else needs to be said! But…
• The satellites use a ¾-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a 2.5-inch IMG cone midrange.
• The tweeters are recessed to offer better phasing for a more coherent sound.
• The speakers all have variable-angle mounting brackets with degree indicators for more accurate dispersion.
(AT Labs will do an acoustic response analysis to determine the best angle and toe-in for the flattest response and the best crossover frequency for the subwoofer.)
• The 100-watt powered subwoofer features an 8-inch fiber-composite cone woofer in a bass-reflex cabinet with adjustments for level, crossover, and phase.
• The overall frequency response is 36Hz to 20,000Hz.
(AT Labs will do acoustic responses to determine the best crossover setting.)
3. The Speaker Stands:
• These stands let you adjust the front speaker systems for both height and toe-in for best performance.
4. The Turntable:
This linear tracking turntable has:
• A tonearm that tracks like the cutting lathe that made the record for best reproduction.
• Fully automatic operation with record sensing.
• A 12-pole/30-slot 3-phase brushless DC servo-controlled direct-drive motor for the platter.
• A dual magnetic cartridge with a diamond stylus that was inspected under two specialty microscopes and is still fully usable.
• Full control of the tonearm for safer and better control.
5. The Blu-ray/DVD/CD player has:
• Analog audio outputs to go directly to the receiver for higher fidelity.
• HDMI video output to go directly to your TV for maximum clarity.
6. The remote control:
It is a Logitech Harmony Ultimate
• Considered to be the fullest-featured, easiest-to-use remote control available.
