Thought I’d bring my reply over to this thread with regards to my active 1100 amplification situation...

After a lengthy discussion with Debbie who pulled in Ian, we settled on the best starting point being repurposing my monolith 7 for the front 6 channels and getting an ADA 1000-4 for the rears. I was trying to cut this to the bone and had the idea of just using my monolith to work the front 6 channels and adding the rears later. Ian explained why that would not work with the LFRs and the need for rear amplification.

The monolith and 1000-4 do have a 1db gain difference but because I can split them front vs rear, Ian pointed out that I can use the DSP to balance that out.

Can’t say enough good things about Ian, Debbie and crew for all the help and time taken to get me squared away and I am certainly looking forward to getting my paws on these speakers!
