Front end is fully functional:
Aquired vandersteen hp-5b xlr highpass filters (set at 20k)
Integrated stereo vandersteen 2w subs
all through a Bryston 9b-sst with 4/5 channels bridged to 300w x 2 for the vandersteen 3As : I was initially going to biamp the 3a main left and right speakers but additional research on the vandersteen site revealed thats a bad idea

that leaves 140w from channel # 5 for the vcc-5 center which now sits on a custom sound anchor stand (best $400 I've ever spent, and one of my only New purchases besides interconnects) which allows me to angle the center directly at ear level and also supports the amp and provides ample clearance for the heatsinks which due to the modular design are center mass and need plenty of air
