3.1 Music + 5.1 Home Theater System.
Vivid Audio speakers with fronts and center on Devialet 220s and surrounds run by Bel Canto 500s.
I had to create my own remote code on RS232s to be able to use inputs on center channel Devialet. It works as a stereo system (L+R) and independent center connected to digital output of right channel Devialet. Three Devialet setup straight from the Configurator did not work for me.
A lot of brain damage, but now it is working beautifully.

That’s a beautiful looking system, with hardly a cable in sight. Very neat.
The white colour scheme also looks fantastic.

First of all, WOW what a set up!
Second, how did you manage to take that photo in such a way it shows both rear speakers reflect in the Devialets?

I was going to ask something similar to Pim's question, but I'll just say what a picture! If this forum has an award for picture of the year I am pretty sure this would be the 2018 winner.
I am interested in how you are using the center channel for music. I presume the center speaker is running from one of the 220's, a kind of mini stereo / bi-amped speaker? Is it simply running a full stereo feed when running 2.1 for music? I am not really clear as to how this works.
As an aside, one of my favorite rooms at a hifi show last year was running the Vivid G3's, with Mola Mola electronics, I am sure they sound mighty fine with the Pro's.

Beautiful setup. Like the way you’ve dealt with the asymmetry.

Impressive to say the least!
Also keen to learn more how did you get the center speaker running
At my local dealer here, I auditioned the D1000 driving the G3s and it was breathtaking! Enjoy your beautiful system

I really like Pearl White, but these are BMW Alpine White - flatter and colder color.

As an aside, one of my favorite rooms at a hifi show last year was running the Vivid G3's, with Mola Mola electronics, I am sure they sound mighty fine with the Pro's.
I set it up as a stereo 440 system and an independent 220 for center. There are three separate setups that I select from the remote:
1. Streamer - source connected to Master 440 and Center 220 connected to digital output of Master 440.
2. Turntable - source connected to Center 220 and Master 440 connected to digital output from Center 220.
3. Home Theater - front right and left connected to Master 440 and center connected to Center 220, all in pass through mode.
I really like the 3.1 setup for music listening. I noticed that when I run the center channel at 5 - 10dbs below fronts it gives more depth to the soundstage.
Here are the pictures:

440 Companion (Left)
