Users can try 11 monoblock, 6 two-channel, two 5-channel + 1 monoblock or other combinations of power amps and speakers to make use of the 11-channel output system. The only thing to keep in mind is to have an amplifier that could power up the system. We would suggest the McIntosh MHT300 Home Theater Receiver which can help you in both power and processing.
