Outputs #1 & #2 are used for the subwoofers, #3 & #4 to the satellite midranges, and 5 & 6 to the tweeters. The Pi does all the routing and crossovers for the 2.2 system using CamillaDSP.
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	.
Room Comments/Treatments:	The room is an irregularly shaped second floor living/dining room with attached kitchen, vaulted ceilings from 11-19' high, and an open loft. Some Auralex panels on the wall, a couple Echo Buster panels, 2 EchoBuster Bass Busters, and a couple wool blankets draped here and there.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Mostly classical (orchestral and chamber music, and mostly late Classical to mid 20th Century), and some 70s/80s pop music. 60s-80s rock/pop and new wave. I like a nice tune and a good lick. Beatles or Stones man? Beatles, but even closer: the Kinks. Jazz (still exploring)
System Goals/Comments:	Analog sources must make coherent sense of and get the most music out of often mediocre vinyl. As much of a sense of the original acoustic space must be reproduced as possible. Warm string tone, clear and articulate midrange, non-muddy bass. But the electricity of hard rock music must not be sacrificed.
System Strengths:	Wide, deep, dimensional soundstage. Scary deep and accurate bass (and no EQ set yet!) Detail without brightness. Neutrality.
System Weaknesses:	Not a system weakness, but there is too much street noise leaking into the room.
Video/HT System: None
TV/Projector:	Banished from the listening room.
