Distributed Audio

Throughout the Audioholics showcase home resides speakers in key rooms and outdoors, all feeding off the Family Room system. With the RX-V2700, Emotiva MPS-1 and MusicCAST MCX-2000 at the heart of this system, we are able to serve three independent zones of audio simultaneously while also serving multi channel surround sound in the family room. Best of all, control is handled via the RX-V2700 with no need for external switch boxes.

Here is a breakdown of rooms serving audio and their associated speaker systems:

Dining Room:         RBH Sound MC-615 in-ceiling speakers                           $499/pair

Guest Room:         Axiom Audio W-3 on-wall/in-wall Vassallo                         $649/pair

Workout Room:    Klipsch AW-525 outdoor speakers & AW-800 subwoofer     $800/system

Front Yard: T.B.D.
