Klipsch La Scala AL5s paired with four SVS SB-3000s. La Scalas currently (and hopefully temporarily) powered by a Yamaha Aventage RX-A8A, which I already know is more than likely not doing the La Scalas full justice, so open to alternative suggestions to consider from those with real-world experience on these. Music normally enjoyed is all over the place, no genre pigeonholing, and do enjoy true, concert-level, visceral volume at times. Room these are in is approximately 30'x40', with 12' ceilings, and fixed center listening position is 15' away.
