ok, I agree the crossover slope in not flawed.
What is flawed is having NO WAY to aviod getting 80Hz and below frequencies summed and sent the the subwoofer. Why can't I get the analog xo out of the way? You're saying that eastech designed the analog BM to ALWAYS send summed info to the sub, regardless of what's happening w/ the info sent to the other speakers? Ok, if that's the case, then the design isn't flawed, but whoever spec'd it that way was flawed. What's the point of having a switch if it's always supposed to be in the "On" position?
Regardless, I think the Outlaw is a great piece at this price point. I've been getting around the analog BM woes by setting all to Large and using an ICBM btwn my amp and preamp. In the DVD-A player's menu, I've set the sub to off. When I want to listen to a DVD-A, I set the outlaw's sub to off and let the ICBM do the filtering. Only problem is remembering to turn the sub back on when I'm done w/ the DVD-A.
I am a little disappointed to hear that the digital XO is now suspect as well.
I'm really looking forward to my next processor not having these quirks.
