The brief

Every loudspeaker in this 5.2.4 system is Sonus Faber. The main channels come from the Homage Tradition series: a Vox G3 centre channel sits between a pair of Amati G5 floorstanding loudspeakers, with two Guarneri G5 bookshelf speakers set as surrounds, so every main channel shares one loudspeaker family and one voicing.

A pair of Gravis VI subwoofers carries the low end, and four Palladio PC 664P in-ceiling speakers add the height layer overhead, completing the 5.2.4 configuration.

StormAudio processing sits behind the system. An ISP Elite processor handles decoding and room correction, and a PA8 Ultra amplifier drives the remaining nine channels. The front left and right run from a pair of AVM MA 6.3 Mono amplifiers, fed by an AVM Ovation PAS 8.3 streaming preamp.
