The Reference Room
The Chronosonic XVX System
Wilson Chronosonic XVX and Subsonic subwoofers driven by Burmester Reference — 159 monoblocks and a pair of 259s running in mono — and the dCS Varèse.
Why This Pairing Works
System 3 anchors around the Wilson Chronosonic XVX with a Wilson Audio Subsonic subwoofer pair below — the full-range reference-tier configuration in this room. Amplification is Burmester Reference Line: the 077 preamplifier feeds 159 Reference Mono Amplifiers, with a pair of Burmester 259 power amplifiers running in mono alongside them and a 218 Power Amplifier for supplementary channels. The digital front end is the dCS Varèse Music System — transport, DAC, and Master Clock. This system produces the room's most extreme dynamic range and its most complete frequency envelope.
