brianca- Your #3 should have done it. It's supposed to ignore that "small" setting and run full range to the mains, *and* redirect to the sub.

You said that the sub is active for #3, but was it also get redirected info from the mains? Or just the .1 LFE info?

Well, it's not *supposed* to do that, but that is the report.

I have to admit that I have no idea if the info that was comming out of the sub was just the LFE or if it was redirected from the mains.

that said, it doesn't make sense that it would do it in multi-channel mode but not in stereo. I don't think the 1066 knows the difference, so my assumption is that it's only the LFE info sent to the sub in #3 and the small setting of the mains is ignored as it should be.

there appears to be no bass management on the 6.1 inputs on my 1066.

Brian,

For your test #2, were you using a 2-channel analog/digital input, or were you using two of the 6.1 inputs?

On my 1066, if I route a 2-channel analog signal to the front L/R jacks of the 6.1 inputs and put the 1066 in "Ext In" mode, I do get bass from the subwoofer. Rotel has confirmed that the 1066 has the bass-doubling "issue" with the 6.1 inputs, according to info that another HTF member received from their support staff.

I am using a stereo signal into the front L&R of the 6.1 inputs and I get no sub activity. It's only when I turn the 5.1 mix of the disc on that I get sub activity and I assume that it the .1 mix of the disc and not the 1066 doing bass management.

brianca.

Ok. I just repeated this test. Stereo input to the L&Rs on the 6.1 inputs and I got no sub.

maybe there are different versions of the 1066?

Jeff Its amazing your OHM F still play given there age. I still have a pair I got from my brother finished in Teak but the voice coils are fried. I called Ohm and spoke to John Stroeben and he, of course, discouraged me from repairing them and suggested going with a Walsh conversion and a get to vent the cabinets and improve eff. As I sure you know, those driver have quite an excusion and it causes a muddled efect on the midrange when driven hard. They take a ton of power and then tend to bottom out. Not so with these new drivers. They can take an almost endless amount of current and they just sing! As for the Rotel, I am leaning towards the 1066, as I am concerned about several issues with the 950! Thanks again for your input and good luck with your system! Everett
