I agree with Tony. A bunch of us have experimented with the z5500 using different setups with some excellent results. For me the best sounding setup is using Stereo x2 (2 sats reproducing Left stereo channel, 2 sats Right). To my ears the stereo x2 setting helped to improve some of the midrange projection issues that people have mentioned previously. With sats and cabling mounted on a single pole the setup time for the z5500 is less than 1 minute.

I have also used the z5500 sub to drive a pair of typical PA speakers (10"+horn). You can get a lot more level out of the mids and highs due to the higher sensitivity rating of the larger satellites.

Kind regards
Mark
