These speakers can be powered with a single amplifier with the use of rear jumpers, or the upward-firing array can be separately amplified to adjust its level.
"Okay for anyone not familiar with Jim Romeyn's Late Ceiling Splash (LCS) configuration, which is used here with his permission, the idea is to get a lot of spectrally-correct, relatively late-arriving reverberant energy into the room without the room-placement requirements of dipole, bipole, or omni speakers. The extra reverberant energy is fired from the floor up towards the ceiling, which gives us a nice long path-length-induced time delay. This improves timbre, spaciousness, and the sense of envelopment. The long delay preserves the imaging cues from the front-firing array, and then the ambience cues that are on the recording come from more realistic directions instead of primarily from the direction of the speakers (which is probably the worst possible direction). So we get imaging and envelopment. Additional benefits include eliminating the baffle-step and mitigating the floor-bounce notch." Duke LeJune, Audiokinesis
