Picture of PSW 1 before adding an amp above it. This little guy is amazing
Main Atlantic Technology in-wall Speaker with out painted grill on. The tweeter & 2 mids are sealed and movable - they are toed in and down toward the listening position - one of the main reasons I choose them for my solution
Atlantic Technology surround speaker with out painted grill on
Two directional center speakers installed in ceiling. I used two to try and match the output of the two mains. I went with in-ceiling so that I could add Non-AT screen and PJ later on.
Second PSW
