The Outlaw 950 is late. So I'm looking at alternatives.

The Yamaha RX-V1300 has everything I want, accept for good bass management.

So would the following work?

Use the ICBM on the "pre out" outputs from the receiver before the power amps? The ICBM does support 6.1, I just saw from the literature (cool!).

Then I'd set the receiver config for my speakers as all large, subwoofer yes. (So the receiver would still send the DD/DTS LFE signal to the sub, but the ICBM would route all crossed over bass to the sub too.)

I think all that would work.

Here's where I get confused. If I do properly set the distances/delays to all the speakers, how will the ICBM handle that? There will be phase differences around, right? (But I can separately adjust the phase between the mains and the sub anyway.)

The best way might be to set all those distances the same, but then I lose "time coherency" within my system.

Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!
