Bachmann Spectrum K4 with TCS WowSound decoder and 4 Zimo speakers.

I wired 4 Zimo speakers up in a series/parallel configuration to a TCS WowSound decoder and although it was a tight fit I was able to get it all in.

I am blown away by the performance of the BEMF motor control and Keep alive capacitor. The Audio Assist feature is so easy to use that anyone can get it setup with little to no DCC CV programming. And to say the sounds are the best, clearest steam sounds in the industry might even be an understatement.

About the only complaint I have is that I can't figure out how to drive a fan driven smoke unit with it. If I could do that, it would be the perfect decoder.

Very cool news from Kato. I look forward to putting two big speakers and a QSI Titan DCC decoder in one of the new models.
