Hi Brian. The technical specs for LFE are different for the 2 formats. I don't know why this decision was made; perhaps just out of spite. It doesn't make a lick of sense, but perhaps it stems from the fact that each formats maker wants theirs to be the only one to succeed.

I've pretty much got the bass dialed in now. The bass management of the Denon is superb, and very complete.

I still may get an ICBM down the road; the Denon works perfectly, but the preamp I'd like to buy has no b/m at all. Without the ICBM, this would mean only my Denon would work correctly.
