Ok, so why not put the Crown in the dedicated room, along with the Apogees? Just use a long pair of interconnects....

I'm Justin.
Got anymore fab ideas?
I do wonder what the "reviewers" would make of it if you shoved it in a pretty box with Devialet written on it.
Might need to flatten it with a hammer first

Just stand it upright behind the rack, or out of sight somewhere?

I guessed as much. Think I'm becoming that way myself. How about a nice squeezebox touch with linear psu and booster? Mine is now surplus to requirements.hifi

I wouldn't use it in the hifi though, I'd use with a microphone preamp and and smallish PA speakers for vocals in a rehearsal space.

Awesome!
Btw, have you ever tried an amp (or amps) at a similar price point to your MBLs, i.e. giving them some 'quality watts', more in keeping with their calibre, thus reducing your system's 'mullet status'?
For me, with the amps you've been using, unless I've missed something suitably high-end you've had, you're unlikely to have heard what those MBLs are truly capable of.......... It's not ALL about the speakers, you know!!
