KCB,

I've always felt that you have a good handle on sub tweaks. 5dB boost is acceptable, IMO, when using a PEQ.

Do you still use Vandersteen sub(s)? It would be cool to hear your setup someday.

LP=listening position..sorry.

This reminds me...DB asked, in the original question, if changing the distances of the satellite speakers would compensate for the delay. The answer is no. The delays are based on the farthest distance being 0 delay. Since there's no subwoofer distance setting, there's nothing you can do to compensate for a subwoofer being farther away from the listening position (physically or virtually), which it almost always is with a corner placement and/or when using outboard DSP equipment.

This is something the next-gen pre/pro should definitely have that the 950 (and many pre/pro/receivers) doesn't.
