Nilesh,

There are literally dozens of messages on this board which explain EX and how it relates to the Lexicon, but once more…

In an EX system, the Surround Left and Surround Right channels are reproduced by the Lexicon's "Side" outputs, and the Surround Back channel by the Lexicon's "Rear" outputs.

: The reason is i will be ordering the cine pro 6 chanel amp.The connections will be the 2 fronts,the centre,2 rears and an ex channel.2 speakers will be connected to ONE channel on the cinepro as only mono is required.

You need seven channels of amplification, not six. Even in EX mode where the Surround Back pair are mono, you should individually calibrate and time align each of the 'speakers. More importantly, all the other Lexicon algorithms - Logic 7, Music Logic, Music Surround etc. - implement stereo rear channels.

I am also compelled to comment on your choice of Bose (uh-oh). The Lexicon MC-1 is a high-end product and the Cinepro is an excellent amplifier. The Bose however, are neither high-end nor "excellent", in fact they're decidedly mediocre and totally outclassed by the rest of your system. I'd strongly urge you to consider alternatives, especially if you haven't bought/paid for them yet.

Stuart.
