Hey MSills,
Just a couple of thoughts....
1st) welcome to the saloon.
2nd) There is a thread for product suggestion ... probably found it after you thru this out to the Outlaw crew.

I like several of your suggestions....

- On your third point: 'suble loudness' - i have found listen at lower levels - say more back gound music very good (990/7125 combo)... actually surpised at the level of low frequency. The sound has a fullness to it. so for me this does not apply.

On Point number five, there is the theater mode which rolls the highs overall. I don't remember the frequency or the level off hand. But i hear you on the non global ability.

again .... welcome to the crew.
