Gonk, that's the conclusion a couple of us on the Axiom site (including Ajax) finally came up with, thanks for the help. We've also concluded the only help the ICBM (ordered but not yet received) will do with my particular H/K AVR635/Denon 2910 5.1 system will allow me to have bass management for SACD/DVD-A only, correct?

We've also concluded whenever I purchase and connect a 5 ch amp I will then be able to have bass management for the complete system via the ICBM....correct?

Thanks! Rick
